Koalas are well known for several things. They are known to be excellent climbers, able to scale tall, straight, smooth-barked trees easily. Koalas are probably best known for the fact that they happily survive on just eucalyptus leaves and flowers. Under normal weather conditions, they do not need to drink any water. All their basic needs - food, water and shelter - are provided by eucalyptus trees of particular preferred species.
