How are Koalas alive?

From the creator

Koalas are pretty darn cute, but...they aren’t the brightest bulb on the continent. They will only eat eucalyptus leaves off the branch. On a plate, a koala won’t recognize their one and only food. Yet, somehow, koalas are still alive. And it's all thanks to some pretty clever adaptations. Hosted by: Michael Aranda SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
