Best Answer

Koalas and pandas do not eat the same food. They are completely unrelated animals.

Koalas are marsupials which are native to Australia; they are not bears. They feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves and flowers.

Pandas are native to selected parts of Asia, and feed mostly on bamboo shoots.

There is no similarity between the food eaten by koalas and pandas, beyond the fact that both types of food are plants.

Koalas eat only the leaves and blossoms of a limited range of eucalyptus trees. They feed on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus.

Pandas mostly feed on bamboo shoots and leaves. They also occasionally eat some types of fruit, berries and roots.
