No. Neither eucalyptus trees nor the eucalyptus oil that can be extracted from the leaves is "poisonous". However, the oil does contain some toxins which can cause acute gastric problems if ingested. The few animals which feed on eucalyptus leaves, such as koalas, Ringtail possums and Greater gliders, are able to filter out the toxins through their digestive systems.

There are many Australian animals which live in eucalyptus bushland - it is not called forest. Koalas and Greater Gliders live exclusively in eucalyptus bushland, although they may be found in other native trees as well.
Deer generally avoid eating eucalyptus trees because they contain oils and compounds that are unpalatable and can be toxic to animals. However, if food is scarce, deer may nibble on eucalyptus leaves as a last resort.
Eucalyptus trees are relatively shortlived but they very often sprout again from the stump.
