Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "Its habitat can vary somewhat if it is supplied with eucalyptus".

Explanation:

The diet of koala should always include eucalyptus. This is a special feature because most mammals find the eucalyptus poisonous, but the slow metabolism of koalas allow him to avoid this feature and maximize the few nutrients that eucalyptus has. Koalas could survive in habitats that can vary somewhat if it is supplied with eucalyptus. Koalas depend on eucalyptus but they can adapt to different habitats as long as they diet include this plant.
