What do special koalas need?
There are no "special" koalas. Koalas live on a highly specialised diet consisting primarily of certain types of gum tree leaves (eucalyptus). They do not eat all types of gum tree leaves: of the 300 or so species in Australia, they are restricted to eating the leaves of just 60, and within that 60 there are a dozen or so of their preferred variety. A koala colony will not survive if the animals do not have ready access to any of these dozen species of gums.
