Leaves'R'Us

so little calorie value in each leaf, so they need a ridiculous amount

[Beryl Lloyd]

No wonder when not eating they spend a a lot of time sleeping ! Love this revision course after years of tuition on the life and habits of your beloved Koalas -- Enjoying this -- keep them coming !! :)

Nature is amazing, nothing wasted, even eucalyptus leaves are useful.

[Diana]

I so agree with Beryl, love this series!

[Joanne Diochon]

I suspect there is not too much competition for this food source from other animals.

[Lou Ann]

I agree with @gardencat!

[Mags]

Amazing fact. I'm guessing those trees don't have a chance to get overgrown.

[Nina Ganci]

hope the leaves can produce fast enough for them

[Jean]

Interesting. I did not realize that

[Bill]

That is a lot of follage.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@gardencat oh no, the only other mammal that can eat toxic eucalyptus leaves is the brushtail possum, and they a wider range of eucalypts. these leaves would kill us in even small amounts, so no nibbling for me!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@ninaganci that is why each koala needs so many trees 🌳

[Shutterbug]

They must have very good grinding teeth. Have you ever tasted a eucalyptus leaf?

[Jane Pittenger]

They must get exhausted with all that chewing

[Rick]

Great shot. Maybe that's why they are so sleepy, they're worn out from all of that eating. :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is a lot of leaves! It's amazing they don't strip the trees.
