Climbing trees has two main purposes for koalas.

1. Being defenceless animals, being able to climb trees keeps koalas safe from ground-dwelling predators.

2. Koalas feed prinarily on eucalyptus leaves. Eucalypts are tall trees with straight trunks, and being able to climb these trees gives koalas access to their main food source.
