What do koalas eat?
Learn about how the team at Healesville Sanctuary ensure koalas in their care have plenty of fresh food to eat every day!
Feeding and napping koala might sound like an easy task, but meal prep for this iconic Australian native species is a huge job for the team at Healesville Sanctuary.
Every day, rain, hail, frost or shine, 469 individual eucalyptus tree branches are collected from a plantation about 5 kilometres from the Sanctuary.
Once carefully selected and collected the branches are taken back to Healesville Sanctuary and sorted in a purpose-built gum fridge. Keepers then distribute the branches once a day to the koalas.
