My favorite part is how they won’t recognize leaves when not on branches. It’s like when you don’t recognize a teacher outside of school but to the extreme

[maddockemerson]

What I’m getting from this is that the only reason koalas exist, is because literally nothing else is stupid enough to bother eating eucalyptus leaves.

I love that this guy woke up one day and decided "alright Imma dunk on koalas for 7 minutes and post it to YouTube."

Every time i hear someone talk about koalas it’s always with the venomous hatred as if there mere existence is an insult to life itself.

I swear Koalas get high because of the fermentation of the eucalyptus leaves.

"This thing sure is cute, I don't need to do *anything* else, because cuteness is obviously the most important quality for any creature to have"- Evolution when creating the Koala.

Here's an interesting fact about koalas I checked animal IQs and I found out that koalas are less intelligent than ants
