What actions koalas use to survive?
Koalas interact daily with eucalyptus trees, as koalas feed on eucalyptus leaves in order to survive. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. They also occasionally eat the gum tree blossoms. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. As well as feeding on eucalyptus leaves, koalas must climb trees in order to be safe from ground-dwelling predators. They will climb any tree to escape from danger, but they do tend to have a range of preferred home trees.
