Yes. The koala is a specialist because it can only survive within a very specialised environment, specifically where there are certain species of eucalyptus trees. The koala has a limited diet, feeding on the leaves of those trees alone.

No. A koala is not a predator at all. It is herbivorous and a specialist feeder, eating from just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus.
