Best Answer

Dingoes are opportunistic feeders, so they eat any prey they can catch. In the wild, koalas spend most of their time in trees, so it is unusual for a koala to become prey to a dingo. Also, dingoes do not generally inhabit the same areas as koalas in any great number if at all. Usually koalas are not troubled greatly by predators, and are more likely to be killed while crossing the road, or by being savaged by unrestrained domestic dogs.
