Phascolarctos cinereus

Koalas Phascolarctos cinereus) increase their glucose intake by 20% if they eat Eucalyptus spp. foliage, which requires conjugation reactions with glucuronic acid for excretion (Eberhard etal, 1975). Goats and sheep eat more of a toxic diet if given surplus food, which helps detoxication (Provenza, 2004). [Pg.297]

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is one of the most admired and best known Australian marsupials and is distributed in two subspecies over the eastern part of the Australian continent. Sexual dimorphism is well developed with adult males being up to 50% larger than adult females in the same population (Martin Lee, 1984). The weight of adult males varies from a mean of 4 kg in the smaller southern form to about 15 kg in the northern subspecies (Lee Carrick, 1989). [Pg.93]
