Here's how koalas eat:
* Their diet is very specific: They primarily eat eucalyptus leaves, but they are picky about which species they choose. Different species have different levels of toxins, and koalas have evolved to be able to process certain types.
* They are slow eaters: Koalas spend most of their day sleeping or resting. When they are awake, they spend about 15 hours per day eating!
* They have unique adaptations: Koalas have a strong sense of smell, helping them find the best eucalyptus leaves. Their teeth are sharp and strong, allowing them to tear through the tough leaves. They also have a special pouch in their cheeks to store food and a slow digestive system that helps them extract nutrients from the leaves.
So, instead of hunting, koalas focus their energy on finding the best eucalyptus leaves to fuel their bodies!
