A koala depends on its environment for both food and shelter.
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. 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. Koalas have been known to also eat the buds, flowers and bark of these particular species, while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies. Koalas have been seen feeding in eucalypt trees such as Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
They live in these trees, and have a range of such trees between which they travel. Without this specific bushland habitat, koalas cannot survive.
