Koalas Can Hold Food in Their Belly for Over 8 Days
Koalas eat a diet primarily of eucalyptus leaves. To get more energy out of this diet, the Koala ferments part of what it eats in its gut. Koalas don’t ferment eucalyptus leaves in their stomachs. Instead, the fermentation occurs in the organs after the small intestine in the digestive process, the large intestine, and the cecum that connects the large intestine to the colon.
