The Aboriginal people used them as a source of meat. Various animals including dingos, dogs, foxes and cats will also take them when possible and smaller koalas can be taken by snakes, and larger birds such as eagles, hawks, kites and falcons, etc.

There are few natural predators of the koala. Young koalas are vulnerable to owls or pythons. These attacks rare and are insignificant compared to the human related threats and impacts. The main predation of koalas these days comes from introduced ferals like the Fox and from domestic pets. Dogs in suburban areas are particularly dangerous, attacking and killing koalas.

Goannas, dingoes, powerful owls, wedge-tailed eagles and other Birds of Prey, pythons, and foxes all eat koalas, particularly young ones.

The quoll is the only native carnivorous mammal capable of climbing trees to get to koalas.

Baby koalas may be eaten by introduced feral animals like the fox and domestic pets. Dogs in suburban areas are particularly dangerous, attacking and killing both adult and baby koalas.

Goannas, dingoes, powerful owls, wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey, pythons, and foxes all eat baby koalas. The quoll may eat a joey which has been separated from its mother.

Koalas do not live in the savanna, so they are not eaten by anything there. Actually They do if you look on the top site of what lives in the savanna
