Koalas are fucking horrible animals.
They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death.
This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life.
Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can’t afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan.
Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal.
They are not extinct so I think they are nailing it
Its just like pandas, if you can find a niche where there is a ton of low quality food that nobody else wants but you can gobble it down then you win.
koalas are kinda of worst off than pandas.

This pasta aged well.
You know evolution is more survival than evolution or women wouldn’t be bleeding needlessly every month?
oh and they can eat a specific type of eucalyptus, and not just any type like the invasive blue gum. and they wont conceptualize leaves in front of them, if its not on a branch.
also being susceptible to chlamydia, which was theoretically though to have come from farm animals by colonist centuries ago. additionally, they have a retrovirus, called koala retrovrisus(koala HIV) which likely came from a monkey virus(high genetic similarities), they dont know how it came from them.

Just wait until all plants in Australia die out except for eucalyptus trees and koalas take over the continent
The Mother’s semen?
That’s not how anything works.
i suggest you stay off the internet
A little further back.
Grandmother’s semen?
You made it worse :(
Which is why in Australia, when we tell someone to eat shit - it’s actually because we care about their digestive health!
wait until this thread learns where humans get their gut biome
wasn’t there something about children born from a C-section having a notably lower amount of gut biome, which kinda proofs that a significant amount of gut biome gets transported through the vaginal channel, or am i misremembering things?
my understanding is that when you’re born it’s normal for mom to poop on your head a little bit
Natural birther to a c-sectionist: “You merely adopted the scat. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already covered in it, by then it was nothing to me but stinking.”
something like that, yes
I think I have been subconsciously trying to improve my gut biome as an adult…
I just heard the exact same thing in a Kurgesgagt video, not sure if its true though. They said c section babies have higher rates of infection and asthma too. I found a Smithsonian article about it if you are interested:
I’m so confused
💩
Butt milk. 🤢
Is it like bunnies and it’s not poop? It’s called cecum if I remember correctly. It just happens to come out the same hole as poop.
The SciShow video that introduced me to the plight of the Koala called it “pap” which might be distinct from poop but I didn’t bother to look into it farther, just kind of assumed it was poop too
I have heard it called pap as well.
And then fall out of a tree and into some hikers.
Have you ever tried earthworm milk?
Queen Amidala suggesting that titty infection is a good thing.
More like green fudge
