abstract = "Eucalypt foliage is a poor quality diet for Phascolarctos cinereus, being high in fibre and low in available nutrients. In theory, such a diet should be unsuitable for a mammal of the koala's size, due to the general increase in ratio of metabolic energy requirements to gut capacity among mammals as body size decreases. However, the nutrient requirements of koalas are low compared with other mammals and their digestive process is highly specialized. Koalas meet most of the energy requirements by digestion of dietary cell contents in the stomach and small intestine. -from Authors",
