Chinchillas and koalas are both mammals, and therefore have in common all the characteristics of mammals, e.g.

  • warm blooded
  • vertebrates
  • breathe with lungs (not gills)
  • have fur
  • suckle their young on mothers' milk
  • a four-chambered heart

This is where the similarities end. Chinchallas are members of the rodent family while koalas are marsupials, and the two come from completely different continents.

Do dogs eat koalas?

The correct name for e so-called native cat is "quoll". these animals, which are marsupials (like koalas) do not generally pose a risk to koalas. Koalas and quolls are around the same size, and quolls a unlikely to challenge adult koalas, or to even try and take a joey from a female koala's back. However, quolls are certainly a threat to juvenile koalas which have only just left their mothers. Non-native, feral cats are considerably more dangerous, and certainly eat koalas.
