Answer:
Koalas cannot live in any grasslands, because they need access to gum trees. Their habitat is eucalypt woodland and bushland, but of the several hundred species of eucalyptus ("gum trees"), koalas prefer about 60 varieties, with their specific preferences being limited to a couple of dozen. Koalas have a range of home trees, generally within an area of up to a square kilometre. Grasslands do not support enough of the eucalyptus trees which koalas require.

∙ 13y agoKoalas feed primarily on eucalyptus leaves and flowers. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by Victoria koalas will be different to those eaten by north Queensland koalas.
