Here's why:
* Diet: Dingoes are primarily carnivores, while koalas are herbivores, feeding almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves.
* Habitat: Dingoes are found in a wider range of habitats, including open woodlands, grasslands, and deserts, while koalas are restricted to eucalyptus forests. Their habitats overlap, but not significantly enough for dingoes to target koalas as prey.
* Size and Defense: Koalas are relatively large and strong, and they have sharp claws and teeth. While not aggressive animals, they are capable of defending themselves against predators smaller than them.
* Natural Predators: Koalas' main predators are wild dogs, foxes, and large birds of prey. Dingoes are not typically considered a significant predator of koalas.
While dingoes and koalas may share some habitat, they are not part of each other's food chain.
