Why did the koala cross the forest floor?

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

    Abstract

    Koalas are fussy eaters. Ben Moore discovers why. When we shop in the supermarket, we can generally be that is both safe and nutritious. This task is made easy for us by packets that list each food’s ingredients and a raft of nutritional information, and by manufacturing processes that are regulated and carefully monitored. But life is not so straightforward for wild animals, and this is especially true for herbivores. Wild herbivores face two problems that we avoid when we shop in a supermarket.
