Whose diet consists mainly of eucalyptus leaves?
A Koala
B Giraffe
C Alpaca
Correct Answer: Koala
Fact: Eucalyptus leaves are the primary food source of koalas, whose specialised digestive systems break down the toxic compounds they contain. There are over 600 species of eucalyptus, but these animals only eat around 30 of them. Koalas have relatively small brains, which limit their ability to perform complex tasks. So, if eucalyptus leaves are plucked and laid out on a flat surface, koalas may refuse to eat them because it deviates from their routine of feeding directly from branches.
