Koalas primarily feed on eucalyptus leaves, which are their main source of nutrition. They have a specialized digestive system that allows them to detoxify the chemicals in these leaves and extract the necessary nutrients. However, koalas do not have a particularly high metabolic rate, leading them to conserve energy by sleeping for long periods, typically around 18-22 hours a day.
