I think koalas are that docile. The only reason they survive is because
there aren't many natural predators. The wild dogs, dingoes of
Australia live in the middle open area of Australia. Where the sheep
graze. Not in the forests where the koalas live.

dingoes live in unpopulated areas of the coast as well. there is also a
big problem with dogs hear housing and feral dogs elsewhere as koala as
slow on the ground.

Apparently a major natural predator of koala is an owl and for this
reason they have bee known to move from feed trees to shelter in trees
giving better aerial cover. Around here, the koala trackers include
turpentine trees(Syncarpia glomerifera) when searching for them.


And all the many
deadly poisonous snakes of Australia are too small to consider grown
koalas as food. So they don't kill all the koalas. Just the babies
maybe. Australia really doesn't have that many natural predators. Once
you eliminate the poisonous snakes, crocodiles, dingoes. Which don't
live where the koalas live. Australia does not have wolves, coyotes,
bears, cougars, mountain lions. Or pythons, anacondas. So koalas don't
have many natural predators to cause them to be fearful. They only have
humans to be fearful of. And humans are really good at killing and
exterminating everything they touch.
