* Different Habitats: Pythons are found in tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia. Koalas, on the other hand, are native to Australia but only live in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country. While their habitats sometimes overlap, they don't live in the same areas where pythons are common.
* Different Diets: Pythons are carnivores, meaning they eat meat. Koalas are herbivores and only eat eucalyptus leaves.
* Size: Pythons can grow to be quite large, but even the largest pythons would find it difficult to swallow a fully grown koala.
So, while there might be a rare instance of a python encountering a koala, it's highly unlikely that a python would consider a koala as a food source.
