What you do not know of the food of the babies Koalas.

in #ulog6 years ago

Hello Friends of Steemit today I want to talk to you about a mammal that for me is very cute and tender, they are very friendly and have a reputation as a sleeper because they pernotan at 14 hours a day of sleep.

They are herbivores and have an unbalanced diet since almost always what they eat are eucalyptus leaves and they can spend up to 5 hours eating them because they are super slow to chew them.

One of the advantages they have regarding their food is that they do not have to compete for it since it is worth mentioning that eucalyptus leaves are toxic to most animals and could kill them.

The reason why they are so slow to chew is that they must crush the leaves very well in order to convert them into a pasty substance thanks to the bacteria that are obtained in their saliva, which allows the aliemntos to be a processor in the organism without presenting the toxin and thus they pass to the liver without adversely affecting the body.

When koalas have their babies they have an undesirable diet, they are born blind with only one gram of weight and their diet is limited to drinking milk and a kind of pasta called pap that you can not imagine what this paste consists of

This paste called pap is nothing more than the feces of his mother and are their food since they are already processed and it serves to get immunized, strengthen the digestive system before they start to eat the toxic leaves of eucalyptus since these feces they contain specific bacteria for this.

Babies coalas will continue to consume milk and their mother's feces until they reach the first year of age, at this time their stomach is ready to process the eucalyptus leaves and they have matured enough to leave the care of the mother and their own home

I hope you have learned as I do in this different way that koalas protect their babies in terms of their food, rare but apparently it works very well.
