but also some non-eucalypts) growing in particular associations on suitable soils with adequate rainfall.
==the most important factor which make habitats suitable are the presence of tree species preferred by koalas EucalyptsResearch has shown that socially stable koala populations occur only when there are favourite tree species present.==

Koalas don't get many calories from their diet, but they conserve energy by moving slowly and by sleeping as much as 20 hours each day.
==The Koala's digestive system is especially adapted to detoxify the poisonous chemicals in the leaves. The toxins are thought to be produced by the gum trees as a protection against leaf-eating animals like insects.==

t looks rather like a pink jellybean as it is totally hairless, blind and has no ears.
==The joey makes its way from the birth canal to the pouch completely unaidedrelying on its already well-developed senses of smell and touch, strong forelimbs and claws and an amazing sense of direction.==

The weaker animals succumb to the disease, become sick, infertile or die, leaving the genetically stronger animals to continue breeding.
==.In disease-free populations which have been moved to areas where they were not native or where there is not enough habitat to support them (such as on some islands off Victoria and Kangaroo Island in South Australia)==

__//**Adaptations**//__

 * ==Extra thick fur, especially on the neck and shoulders, helps protect animal from even the worst weather (koalas do not build nests).==
 * ==Pear-shaped body provides stability while animal sits in trees.==
 * ==Opposable thumbs and toes allow for a tight grip when climbing.==
 * ==Long claws help to grip tree bark; double digits joined on toes have the two claws close together to form a comb-like structure for grooming.==
 * ==Rough pads on undersurface of hands and feet increase traction while animal is climbing.==
 * ==Large nose with sensitive hairs enables animal to detect differences in smell between different eucalyptus leaves, ensuring that its diet consists of only the best of the bunch.==
 * ==Cheek pouches allow animal to store food not yet chewed while moving to a safer or more protected location.==
 * ==Koala cools itself by licking its arms and stretching out as it rests in the trees (koalas have no sweat glands).==
