Is a koala a carnivor herbivore or omivor?

Answer 1

The koala is a herbivore, eating eucalyptus leaves entirely.

Answer 2

Yes. Koalas are herbivores. They are indigenous to Australia and live in tropical to temperate eucalypt forest and woodlands. They live in eucalyptus trees and are mostly nocturnal and eat certain types of eucalypt leaves almost exclusively.

They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
Koalas only eat Eucalyptus leaves, so yes, they are herbivorous
