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. Over 600 types of eucalyptus trees grow in Australia, but a koala will eat the leaves of only two or three kinds. It occasionally eats leaves from other trees as well, such as tea and cherry trees. Not all koalas like the same kinds of leaves. A koalaâs taste depends partly on where it lives.
The average weight of a koala varies according to where it lives. A newborn joey weighs about 0.5 grams and is about 2 cm long. 1  Northern koalas weigh up to 9 kg (19.8 pounds) for males and 7.25 kg (16 pounds) for females. 2  Southern koalas weigh up to 15 kg (33 pounds) for males and 11 kg (24 pounds) for females. Koalas only eat approximately 50 of the 600 different eucalyptus species in Australia. Each koala eats around 400 to 600 grams of eucalyptus leaves each day. Eucalyptus â¦ leaves contain approximately 50% water so koalas generally do not need an additional water source.
