How did koala bears get used to their envoirment?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a koala bear. that's a bit like saying "rabbit frogs" because they both have strong, back legs for jumping.

ANYHOW, koalas adapted to the Australian bush by evolving a stomach that could handle the toxic leaves of the Eucalyptus leaves (or " gum tree leaves") this means they eat a large amount of leaves that very few animals would eat otherwise....mostly bugs and insects. so they never have to compete for food. Also, most Australian predators stay on the ground, so they climb into the trees and spend most of their lives in trees. Koalas have VERY strong arms and legs with long razor sharp claws. Tourists sometimes think the koala is a friendly, cuddly, cute animal, which it is....in the zoo. int he wild its scared and on steroids, and will use the strong arms, huge front teeth and claws to defend itself. they have these large claws for digging into the very dense wood of the Eucalyptus tree.

In real life, the koala is a dangerous animal when cornered, like its closest relative, the wombat. not dangerous?? any animal that follows a wombat into a burros risks getting its paw or skull crushed between the the rump, powered by the strong legs, and the roof of the burrow, killing or crippling the attacker.

koalas share the same body and leg strength, and deceptive cuteness of the wombat

Hope this helped
