Koalas do not "hug" trees.

Koalas climb trees, clinging to the trunks with their sharp claws as they climb. This may appear as though they are hugging the tree.

How do koalas know their homes?

Koalas live in eucalyptus trees. They know the trees within their home range by their scent. Koalas' rather large noses are exceptionally sensitive, and can detect differences between the trees. Also, a tree can "belong" to several koalas, as koalas do move between their home trees quite regularly. During mating season, male koalas rub their scent gland on the base of a tree so that other male koalas know not to encroach on that territory.
