perfect mouthful

Eucalyptus leaves are tough, rather dry, and toxic - even koalas have to smell every leaf and determine the level of toxic oil to be sure they can manage it. Thank you for comments and questions are always welcome!

Nicely done... how many leaves does an adult Koala need to eat each day?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@vignouse Hi Richard :) and adult koala will eat around half a kg each day - that's quite a lot of leaves!
