Yes they are amazing animals. They sleep 20 hours a day.

Or maybe God designed them specifically to eat the eucalyptus leaves that are indigenous to where they live

What defines “poison”? What is poison to one species is food to another.

That is amazing. Yet I ask myself why would they evolve to eat a poison? Only food available? It seems a bit counterintuitive.

Trish, Or maybe they adapted to it as it was all they had to eat. That's called evolving.

Roxanne, If you paid attention, you would have seen that this is a response to a previous post. If you had continued reading instead of getting your "offended" on, you would have seen a previous post discussing bamboo torture used on our men in Vietnam. I trust that meets with your approval? We don't censor speech in this forum.

Kiwozzie, It must be hard on their body to produce all the enzymes needed to process all the poison

Rust, I doubt it, since they are completely different and can metabolize the poisonous leaves

Eucalyptus is like marijuana to humans so they’re in theory are “stoned” all day 😎

I wonder what's up with certain animals eating things that aren't super helpful to them.

Bamboo can also be poisonous. Pandas survive for the same reasons that koalas do. In Vietnam the North Vietnam soldiers would grind up bamboo chutes and feed it to America POW’s. The spores would grow and kill the captives. War is a terrible thing.
