Eucalyptus trees are basicly filled with oil. There leaves have oil in them. Therefore in bushfires they help spread fire. I have heared that sometimes there just burst into fireballs on very hot days.

∙ 13y agoEucalyptus trees provide a valuable source of both food and shelter for many animals. Koalas and Greater Gliders eat the eucalyptus leaves, and live in these tall trees where they are safe from predators.
Other animals which live in eucalyptus trees and feed off the flowers include other species of Gliders, Ringtail possums, Brushtail possums, various cockatoos such as sulphur-crested cockatoos and galahs. Gliders will feed off the sap, while a variety of birds feed on insects and insect larvae that live in eucalyptus trees.

∙ 13y agoThe eucalyptus oil in the leaves of a eucalyptus tree can reach excessive temperatures, literally exploding the crown of the tree, sending sparks flying. Other trees do not explode like this. At these higher elevations (high up in the tree) where the tree crown tends to be exposed, the wind gusts generated by the flames are more intense, and the sparks and flaming branches and leaves will spread further to other bushland.

How do wild fires spread?
Forest fires are caused by lightning strikes (26% of all fires) or human activity (74%).When the fire is caused by human activity it is from one of the following:Campfires left unattended or not put out properlyAgricultural burning getting out of controlEquipment and machinery releasing heat and sparksDeliberate lighting, like children playing with matches, cigarettes thrown out of cars, farmers burning without permission and arsonists who want to destroy something by fire.Once a fire is started it is very difficult to stop. Gradually, the fire spreads around the forest if not stopped. many animals are forced to find another home. some plants, however, are able to grow even after the fire.
Are forest fires easy to solve?
It depends on the structure of the forest. In a natural forest, no, since fire spreads rapidly. In a plantation forest, normally fire-breaks (large open gaps between rows of trees) will be incorporated to help prevent the spread of fire by burning trees falling onto other trees.

Do bell birds destroy trees?
Yes. Bellbirds live in eucalyptus bushland and rainforests, where they repel other species of birds by killing their eggs and destroying or taking over their nests. This means that there are no other species around to help control insect populations, which cause the disease dieback in trees. Dieback causes trees to die where they stand, from the top down.
Do koalas have structures that help them find food?
Of course. If they didn't, they would be unable to survive. Koalas feed by climbing certain species of eucalyptus trees which are their favoured types. They reach out to grab leaves (and occasionally, eucalyptus blossoms) with their paws, which have opposable thumbs and enable them to grip their food. In addition, because they spend most of their time living high in eucalyptus trees, they have structural adaptations that enable them to stay in these trees. They have very strong claws suitable for gripping trees and climbing. Between their first and second "fingers" is a large gap, which enables them to also grip tree branches comfortably, whilst their hind legs have one toe set at a wide angle. They also have toes with thick pads which enable them to sit comfortably in a tree all day.
