As a species, koalas are grey, rather than brown.
Koalas have woolly light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly. Mature males have a brown stain on their chest, the result of a gland which produces an orange coloured discharge. This is used to mark the trees the male climbs (and attract females) by rubbing this gland against the base of the tree and the trunk. Southern koalas tend to have fur that is darker and tending more towards brown than that of koalas found in the northern parts of Australia.

Why do people want to kill koalas?
Selfish people kill animals for their fur without any regard of the survival of the species. Further to this hunting, the habitat of koalas is limited. Some people don't actually want to kill the koalas and they don't realize they because when people cut down forests they're also cutting down their homes and food. Note: Koalas are not hunted for their fur any more. Koalas are now protected, and there is no legal trade in koala fur. The vast majority of people do not actively engage in killing koalas. Only those with no conscience might think killing koalas is good sport. Careless drivers also kill koalas when these creatures try crossing the road between trees in their home range.

Do koalas kill people?
Koalas are completely harmless. They do not kill people. They are herbivores as well. It is possible that a cornered koala may scratch someone who approached it. Koalas are arboreal herbivorous marsupials. A koala will only attack if it's cornered and offered no chance of escape. More damage is probably done when drivers try to swerve koalas crossing the road, or even when helpful drivers stop and wait for the koala. The car that stops or swerves is more likely to be hit by other cars.
