In Australia koalas that live in the wild have no natural predators. They are in fact at the top of the food chain in their habitat. Large birds such as owls have been known to prey on baby koalas, although such information is scarce. By definition koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, they do not prey on other animals.

∙ 12y agoThere 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 feral animals 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.
