Mother Koala Climbing a Eucalyptus Tree with Her Baby
Koalas are tree-dwelling marsupials native to eastern Australia, where eucalyptus woodlands provide their main food and shelter. Mother koalas transport their young on their back once the joey outgrows the pouch. Climbing high into tree trunks keeps the mother and baby safe from ground hazards.
Life of Koalas in Eucalyptus Forests
Eucalyptus leaves form almost the entire diet of a koala, even though the leaves are tough and contain toxic compounds that koalas digest using specialized stomach enzymes. Because eucalyptus leaves yield low energy, koalas sleep up to twenty hours a day to preserve strength. Young koalas stay with their mother for about a year while learning to forage.
