What kind of personalities do koalas have and are they aggressive?
Now, as far as personalities go for koalas, they definitely have different personalities. Cosmo here is a bit of a cheeky fella. He definitely loves his cuddles like this, but when we do our checks with him he doesn’t like being touched around the face, so that’s normally when he tries to get a little bit aggressive with us. He will try and bite anything that comes anywhere near his mouth, so there’s a little bit of aggression from Cosmo. Generally the ones we have here in captivity are very friendly, they love their cuddles and are very gentle with the keepers. Also with personality, it sometimes dictates the way that they eat. Some of them may grab a huge handful of leaf and try and fit it all into their mouth all at once. Other koalas, like Cosmo here, he is quite dainty with his food so he might just go for a tiny little bit at a time.
