Why Do Koalas Only Eat Eucalypt Leaves? (English Version)


Having dissected a few Koalas and being familiar with their gastrointestinal (GI) tracts I considered that if they ate anything more fermentable than eucalypt leaves (i.e. Grass, fruit etc.) then the gases produced from fermentation would remain immobile as they would not be able to overcome the backpressure created by the size of their enormous GI tract and its contents. This would cause extreme bloating and pressure incompatible with long-term survival.

Why Do Koalas Only Eat Eucalypt Leaves? (Technical Version)


Having dissected a few Koalas and being familiar with their gastrointestinal (GI) tracts I hypothesized that if they ate anything less bactericidal and with more digestible carbohydrates than eucalypt leaves (i.e. Grass, fruit etc.) then the gases produced from fermentation would remain immobile as they would not be able to overcome the backpressure created by the size of their enormous GI tract and its contents. This would cause extreme gastric distension and intra-abdominal pressure incompatible with long-term survival.
