The | The koala is an arboreal marsupial native to eastern Australia. With specimens weighing up to 15 kg, the koala is one of the largest tree-dwelling marsupials in the world. The koala also sports one of the smallest brain to body mass ratio of any mammal. A koala’s diet consists mainly of eucalyptus leaves, which are lacking in nutrients and considerably toxic. As a result, the koala generally spends 20 hours a day sleeping, to save energy. Another result of this diet is their exceptionally long caecum: food can take up to 200 hours to fully digest. This extra-long caecum is important in the production of pap, a supplementary food source used to wean koala babies off of their mother’s milk. | ||
