Hey, everyone! Brooke here, your passionate rewilding host. Today, I have another minisode for you! May 3rd is Wild Koala Day and I’ve had the pleasure of hosting a top koala expert, Danielle Clode, PhD, author of Koala: A Natural History and an Uncertain Future.
In this episode, Danielle and I explore the facts and myths about koalas, like why they eat eucalyptus leaves when almost no other species does, how they obtain their microbiome, why they come to ground, their brain size, and why they lounge around for many hours of the day.
After you’re done listening to this snippet, I highly recommend scrolling through the archives and checking out Episode 129 to learn more about koalas including the top two conservation issues they’re facing: fires and deforestation. You can also find Danielle’s book online everywhere. Trust me, as someone who read the whole thing, it’s a great book!
Alright, friends. Please enjoy this koala fun fact episode with Danielle.
