Koalas typically inhabit open eucalypt
woodlands, and the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet.
Because this eucalypt diet has limited nutritional and caloric content,
koalas are largely sedentary and sleep for up to 20 hours a day. They are asocial animals, and bonding exists only between mothers and dependent offspring. Adult males communicate with loud bellows that intimidate rivals and attract mates. Males mark their presence with secretions from scent glands located on their chests.
