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.

Why do older koalas not have problems with predators?
Older koalas are generally too large for predators. The main predators in trees are creatures such as quolls and pythons, but these do not prey on adult koalas. The main predators of adult koalas are on the ground. Dogs are particularly dangerous for koalas, but they cannot climb trees, so the only time adult koalas are in danger is when they are on the ground, moving between their home trees.
