5. She feeds them what?
Koalas have babies singly (or occasionally, twins). A koala joey is embryonic when it is born; it cannot live separate from its mother, so it climbs into her pouch and attaches itself to one of two nipples. At six months, Mama starts preparing Joey to eat on its own by feeding it “fecal pap”. This is her poop, though it is made especially for feeding her baby. It contains the bacteria the child will need to digest eucalyptus leaves. By the way, once the child leaves the mother, she severs all contact and moves on to prepping for a new baby.
