Best Answer

Eucalyptus leaves are actually pretty poisonous but due to the koalas special dietary system it can avoid the poisons and collect the water instead. The koala may have to eat many leaves to collect enough water (1.134 kg a day) but the bacteria benefits by surviving in the koala`s system. If it lived outside the body it would not survive.
