The KOALA Is Our Animal Of The Week!
Our animal of the week is the koala!
Did you know that koalas eat up to 1kg of eucalyptus leaves every day, which are actually poisonous! But, they have a special organ called a cerum that helps them to safely break down the leaves. Despite the rumours, eucalyptus doesn’t actually make them ‘high’. The reason they get so sleepy is because the leaves are so low in nutrients that they have to conserve energy!
