Best Answer

They don't.

Koalas feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves and flowers.

They do not, and cannot, eat bamboo, which requires different types of teeth and a different digestive system from what the koala has.

1. They are not bears. They are simply Kolas. They are marsupials that have a pouch. Bears do not have pouches.
2. They are herbivorous eating only plants and prefer eucalyptus leaves which are very low in calories causing the Kola to sleep for sometimes 20 hours a day.

No. Koalas do not eat bamboo. They are not remotely related to pandas. Furthermore, bamboo is not native to Australia: prior to European settlement, it was not found on the Australian continent at all. Koalas live almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves and flowers.

No, koalas only eat eucalyptus leaves and occasionally the flowers.

Koalas are not bears, and not related to pandas, which are mammals that do eat bamboo.

Definitely not. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees.

Bamboo is not even native to Australia.

Koalas are not at all related to pandas, which do feed on bamboo shoots and leaves.

Koalas are not bears.

Koalas only eat from a dozen or so particular types of eucalyptus leaves and flowers, and nothing else.

Koalas never eat bamboo.

Koalas do not have teeth sharp enough for eating bamboo. Their teeth and digestive systems are made for eating eucalyptus.

Koalas do not eat bamboo. Pandas eat bamboo. Koalas and pandas are native to completely different continents and hemispheres; nor are they related to each other.
