Koalas have very strong claws suitable for gripping trees and climbing. Between their first and second "fingers" is a large gap, which enables them to also grip tree branches comfortably, whilst their hind legs have one toe set at a wide angle. They also have toes with thick pads which enable them to sit comfortably in a tree all day. No Australian predator wants to wait that long for a meal.

Koalas' colouring also enables them to hide from predators. Their grey colouring is very difficult to see when they are high up in a tree and the leaves cast a dappled shade over them. They are effectively camouflaged.
