Eucalyptus leaves have very little nutritional value. Koalas live almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. They can feed on eucalyptus because they have a specially adapted digestive system, and they also gain most of their moistuure needs from eucalyptus leaves and flowers.
Greater gliders also feed on eucalyptus leaves, but only of the subgenus Monocalyptus.
Wombats have also been known to feed on eucalyptus leaves.
