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.
10. How long do koalas sleep in a day? Koalas sleep approx. 18 hours out of 24. This is an evolutionary strategy to conserve their energy as the eucalypt leaf is so low in nutrients/energy value. 11. How many leaves do koalas eat each day? Koalas eat at all times but mostly in the early morning and early evening and during each day consume approximately half a kilogram of leaves. 12. How many types of eucalypt leaves do koalas eat? There are approx. 900 species of eucalypt in Australia â koalas are known to feed on approx. 40-50 species depending on locality. Of this 40-50 they prefer to limit their diet to about 10.
