Is it even a pokemon
Does it even meet the koalafications
Is it even a pokemon
why does it hold a block of wood?
that's it's wiener
heh
He gets sappy without it
Because Koalas are one of the shittiest animals in terms of quality next to pandas.
Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here).
When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
What would happen if you were to somehow substitute a eucalyptus tree with a tree that has more nutritious leaves and forced the koala to eat that?

Sounds like your average Yea Forumsirgin.
There are a lot of weird animals like this, like the panda. Pandas have digestive traits of carnivores, yet they exclusively eat bamboo leaves. Even though this is nowhere near the most efficient foodsource for them, they don't care; they won't eat anything else. Animals like this are fucking bizarre.
Is the block of wood part of it's body, or is it a different pokemon before it finds a perfect block of wood?
Exactly, same shit with horses
Horses can't throw up due to having a long intestinal tract, leading to colic of they over eat and are basically screwed if they eat something toxic, they lack the membrane that helps keep the intestines in place giving them the possibility to get them twisted, the skin on their legs is stretched taut and will peel back if torn, due to their weight they have difficulty breathing when lying down and can't do it for long, and they can't support their weight on three legs for extended periods of time without risking breaking them which combined with the previous point means a broken leg turns into multiple broken legs and suffocation without expensive medical intervention.
There is probably more I'm forgetting but suffice to say horses are not sturdy creatures, especially since we started making them dump Con for more speed.
I think it's another Farfetch'd/leek kind of deal.
Ah. Okay, so now I understand why horses with broken legs tend to get put down. That does seem to be the humane option, yeah.
It ain't gonna suck itself.
They've been trying for years, they just starve to death.
That's impressive. How does an animal evolve that way? Why are marsupials so fucking weird?
At least Pandas are cute but Koalas are just shit.
Yes, but as retarded as drop bears are, at least they eat the food intended for their species, even if it's a shit one. The fucking panda retards are carnivores that eat plants. Not to mention, unlike pandas, koalas can at least fuck. Panadas are one bad day away from extinction if it wasn't for us doing our absolute best to make sure they're actually fucking mating.
If you want a bear that's cute, there's red pandas. All of the adorable, with none of the retard. Hell, they're even small and harmless, making them perfect companions if we wish t domesticate them for that purpose.
Red pandas are very cute too but they aren't as cute, I know that Pandas are fucking retarded so retarded they can and will eventually go extinct, but there is something fascinating about a big and powerful carnivore that just eats a single kind of plant because fuck logic.
Why do you know so much
Who ARE you?!
CARLOOOOS
Not him, but is general knowledge, everyone knows that Koalas are fucking disgusting.
