Australia, Eucalyptus, and Koalas
Eucalyptus trees are extremely popular today and are said to have originated in Australia. There are more than 800 species of eucalyptus trees (often called gum trees) that completely dominate the landscape of Australia. Similar to eucalyptus trees, koalas originated in Australia. They developed an intimate relationship with eucalyptus trees, becoming their main source of diet (in particular the leaves). This is why the two have become inseparable; no eucalyptus trees, no koalas. If you want to donate to help save koalas and protect their habitat, donate here https://www.savethekoala.com/donate.
