No. A female koala positions herself high in the branches of a eucalyptus tree to give birth. Sitting firmly within the fork of two branches, she gives birth quickly. Guided by the smell of its mother's milk, the bean-sized embryo uses its tiny, strong claws to crawl from the birth canal to the backwards-opening pouch, where it secures itself on a teat, which then swells in its mouth. The koala joey is in no danger of falling out of the tree, and the mother is protected from predators during this crucial time.

When and where do koalas have babies?
Contrary to popular belief, koalas, kangaroos and other marsupial mammals do not have their young in the mother's pouch. The young joeys are born from the normal birth canal, from where they must make their journey, clinging to the mother's fur, up to the pouch. For koalas, this occurs while the koalas are still in the tree. They do not give birth on the ground. Koala breeding season is from September to March, which is Spring through to early Autumn.
