Eucalyptus. Baby koalas smell like eucalyptus. Because that's what they fucking eat. (Eucalyptus is a main ingredient in "cough sweets.")

Adult koalas also smell like eucalyptus.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

And if you chew on them, it soothes a cough.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Fun fact: newborn koalas can't eat eucalyptus on their own. They need to eat their momma's poo to get the necessary digestive enzymes.

So they're a doggie delicacy; good to know! XD

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's not technically true. Rabbits are very closely related to cows, but instead of having multiple stomach and chewing their cud 1/3

They first poop out something called cecal pellets, which are re-eaten and re-digested. Only after the second time through their system 2/3

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Is it technically fecal matter. (Cecal pellets are those dry clumpy spheres. Fecal pellets are slimy brown discs that smell HORRIBLE.)

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Good explanation but the pellets are backward - cecal are the slimy smelly ones.

That dog one isn't right. While dogs wag their tail when nervous/unsure/etc there's no clear direction and it varies between individuals.

Why is poop rolling away a problem?

10 years ago | Likes 618 Dislikes 1

Maybe as they are digging in burrows? So it doesn't roll in. Their pouches are backwards too to stop dirt getting in during digging

10 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

they use it to mark their territory, i believe if i'm not mistaken they also use it to help build their holes.

10 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 0

They live on hills and they use poop to mark their territory. If it was round it would roll down hill.

So those damn dungbeetles don't steal their poop.
