How will the amount of time koalas spend sleeping affect the amount of food they find?
Koalas are known to sleep for up to 18-22 hours a day, primarily to conserve energy due to their low-calorie diet of eucalyptus leaves. This extensive sleeping time limits their active hours for foraging and finding food. Consequently, if they spend too much time sleeping, they may not consume enough eucalyptus to meet their nutritional needs, potentially impacting their health and overall population levels. Balancing sleep and foraging is crucial for their survival.
