What eats a baby koala?

In: Koalas [Edit categories]

Answer:

Baby koalas may be eaten by introduced feral animals like the fox and domestic pets. Dogs in suburban areas are particularly dangerous, attacking and killing both adult and baby koalas.

Goannas, dingoes, powerful owls, wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey, pythons, and foxes all eat baby koalas. The quoll may eat a joey which has been separated from its mother.
