Why, koala, why?

In addition, they evolved a smooth brain to avoid thinking about why they would do something so stupid.

The drop bear on the other hand has evolved to look like the koala in order to feast upon its preferred prey, the unsuspecting tourist.

Koalas and pandas live in the same field of "found that this overly abundant thing isn't being eaten by anyone else so they evolved to fill the niece of eating that thing but didn't stop to ask why nobody capitalized on it until it was too late".

Smooth brains! No ridges or lumps, valleys or bumps.

Koalas in the rain,
No F#%<s given

And thus a fundamental law of nature is at play: If something exists, something will try to eat it!

The reason they eat eucalyptus despite the poison is because 3/4 of Australia's forrests are eucalyptus.
Nature loves to fill a vacuum so animals evolved to live in that niche.

I love how the little one fully climbs over top of big brother, just to turn around and give him the "how dare you, Dustin" look. True sibling relationship.

I'd say I live for Ze Frank vids -- even shorts, like this one -- but I'm afraid my wife wouldn't go for that. So we'll just watch Ze Frank vids and laugh at the tangents "Jerry" sends him off on!

It's Australian Flora vs Fauna, both are too stubborn to die.

Man, imagine if there were literally any other vegetation other than the eucalyptus tree in Australia... Too bad there isn't.

Koalas are so bored by this that Clymidia is very widespread and a serious problem for Koalas.

Humans: **brews poisionous plants in hot water and drinks it**

When I was in elementary school the favorite animal among most of my female classmates was the koala.

It was decades later I heard that koalas transmit Chlamydia. It's koala Chlamydia only passed on from koala to koala. Still, the immature 12 year old in me chuckles when I remember classmates who proclaimed they absolutely "loved" koala bears 😅

So they have auto brewery syndrome essentially, that actually explains a lot.

You missed the most important/disgusting part of their adaptation to this diet: they need particular bacteria to assist in digestion, which baby koalas get by eating their mum's poo... Can't believe Ze Frank missed the opportunity to inform us about THAT fact!

Remember Hugbees? The How its Made parody? Yeah this is it, but better and also a nature documentary.
