An adult koala is a leaf - eater. It eats eucalyptus leaves. When koalas are not sleeping, they are usually eating or looking for food. They do not have to look far, since their diet is made up almost entirely of eucalyptus leaves.

Not all koalas like the same kinds of leaves. A koalaâs taste depends partly on where it lives.
