anything else would die eating eucalyptols and even koalas have to be careful how much they take in. that nose is a full scientific laboratory.

I didn't know that so do they go for the ones with less eucalyptus then? And do young koalas know this or does mom have to teach them?

@gardencat mum teaches them what is safe to eat. many things can influence the eucalyptol levels in the leaves from soil, weather and seasons. so it's not a constant as such and is why they need to evaluate everything as they browse
