Me and a Koala

Koalas are very lazy animals. They sleep quite a bit, but that is because they don't get very many nutrients from Eucalyptus leaves. It is the only food they eat. In fact in a particular Aboriginal dialect Koala comes from a word for "no water". Koalas actually never drink water. I know that I would be pretty tired if I was that dehydrated. So koalas have to get all of their nutrients from the leaves of the Eucalyptus tree. Koalas often can get very stressed and not eat for days, and possibly die. So I better give this girl a rest and go see "Bluey". She loves us, I am sure of it.
