Koala's mostly eat Eucalyptus leaves, but occasionally dine on mistletoe, or box leaves. Due to their diet, koalas smell a little like cough drops. The eucalyptus tree provides all the koala's needs. Koala sleep during the day and eat at night. They are lazy, often staying in the same place for days.
Males are little more active then females.
Koalas usually are peaceful amongst their own families. However, sometimes, the males will fight over mates and territory. When they eat they do so from the base of the leaf to the top. These unique habits distinguish the koala. Female koalas only have one baby at a time.
