100 Mind-Blowing Eucalyptus Facts

Koalas feed their newborn’s poop. After baby koalas are born, their parents feed them poop. This helps them digest Eucalyptus leaves as they grow.

Koalas may be cute, but they’re incredibly dumb. No, they have one of the smallest brains out of all mammals, and that’s in proportion to their body weight too! Their restrictive diet of non-nutritious eucalyptus leaves may be the cause, as this diet couldn’t possibly sustain a larger brain. To give you an idea of how clueless they are, when a koala is presented with a branch with leaves and a pile of leaves on a plate, they will eat the leaves on the branch as they cannot recognise those on the plate as food.
