A koala is technically in two different places in a trophic level. While it is considered a specialist feeder due to its diet of certain kinds of eucalyptus leaves, it is actually a primary consumer because it is an herbivore that is eaten by other predators.

∙ 9y agoKoalas do not live in rainforests. Even though Australia has some vast and ancient rainforests, koalas cannot live there as the rainforest is not the source of their food, which is eucalyptus leaves.
Koalas eat from only a few dozen varieties of gum trees, none of which are found in rainforests. The koala's habitat is native bushland, or wet/dry sclerophyll forest. In this bushland, the koala occupies both the canopy and the emergent layer. It does not live on the bushland floor, nor in the understorey.
