Koalas have very strong claws suitable for gripping trees and climbing. The shape and design of their fingers enables them to act like opposable thumbs. 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.
Koalas have virtually no defence. They need to stay up high in gum trees where they are safe from predators. Although they climb trees very quickly, it is better for them to stay in the tree as they are specially adapted to living in their arboreal habitat.
