Yes. The koala cannot produce its own food, so it is a consumer. A consumer is an organism that eats other organic matter (in the case of the koala, it eats eucalyptus leaves) to gain energy to survive.

Koalas are prey, and not predators. They are herbivorous, so they do not hunt other animals.

A koala is also a consumer. It cannot be a producer as it is not a plant, and it cannot be a decomposer because it is neither bacteria nor fungi.
