How do koalas protect themselves when they are attacked?

Answer 1

Koalas are well equipped to protect themselves as they have strong, sharp claws, and their front incisors are very sharp as well. Their colouring also helps make them difficult to see in the tree tops. This is evident from the fact that it was eleven years after Europeans settled in Australia before they even saw their first koala in the area. The koala's fur helps to protect them from bad weather, as it is insulated against cold and wet weather.

Koalas can quickly climb tall, straight trees, away from danger, and none of their predators can climb directly upwards as koalas can.
they have very sharp claws and fast feet and flat sharp teeth

Answer 2

The koalas's best method of protection is climbing high up in gum tees which have tall, straight trunks, and cannot be climbed by ground-dwelling predators. Although koalas are equipped with very sharp claws, these are not very effective against dogs, one of the. Ingest threats to koalas.

Young koalas (joeys) spend the first few months of their life in the mother's abdominal pouch. They do not emerge until they are old enough to cling to their mother's back. They spend a couple more months with the mother koala.

Answer 3

They stay in the trees and most of the time keep still.

Koalas don't have any tree climbing predators. Dogs may attack them when they are on the ground. Raptors cant attack them when they are in the trees.

Other than that, they have very thick fur, strong limbs and claws.

Answer 4

Koalas have sharp teeth and claws, but these provide little defence from animals such as dogs and dingoes.

The koala's best defence is its ability to climb tall, straight trees quickly and effortlessly.

Answer 5

Koalas have virtually no defence against large predators such as dingoes or domestic dogs. Their sharp claws are sufficient defence against smaller predators such as quolls and feral cats.

Answer 6

it uses its sharp claws
