The lighter colouring on a koala's belly enables it to be camouflaged against the sky and the grey-green leaves of the gum trees in which it rests. People on the ground cannot easily see the koala from that angle: this is proven by the fact that koalas were not even known by the first European settlers for the first ten years.
