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.Koalas are also known to sometimes dine on the flowers of eucalypts, or the leaves of Melaleuca, Acacia and Leptospermum. However, the vast bulk of their diet comes from eucalyptus leaves, of which they consume 200 to 500g a day. Koalas have been known to also eat the buds, flowers and bark of their preferred species, while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies.Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala's digestive system is capable of removing the toxins, filtering them out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients.Most animals, with the exception of the Greater Gliderand the Ringtail possum are unable to feed on eucalyptus leaves to any extent. The Greater Glider also feeds almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves.
