There is a theory that the eucalyptus leaves produce alcohol in the gut and that they are permanently hammered. Not sure if its true but its a good story. Lovely shot Denise
@pyrrhula Yes you are correct, but they only eat eucalyptus leaves. When I lived on the farm, we had a resident koala. Every day it was fun to look for her to see which tree she was in. On very hot days she often was in a deciduous tree.
lovely pic! looks like a 'he' as the scent gland is not very obvious but there.
btw (I know I'm coming in late) - they do not get drunk on eucalypt leaves, that's an urban myth
