Koalas are the most ridiculous animal.

Koalas are the most ridiculous animal.

They're also one of the dumbest. If you've ever looked a koala and thought, "man, what a wise and pensive looking creature, so deliberate, I wonder what it's thinking behind those penetrating eyes?" it's actually just a complete idiot.

I had a koala that lived in a tree across the road from me. I walked home one night and the crazy bastard was running around in my yard roaring like a demented pitbull. It just kept ramming the fence. I tried to stop it but gave up and let it do its thing.

Wise? Wise?!
They look dopey as heck! Half the time I'm pretty sure they're whacked out of their gourd on eucalyptus leaves.
And yeah, roaring koalas are pretty fucking terrifying. I'm glad I've never pissed one off enough for it to do that to me.

As the young koala approaches six months, the mother begins to prepare it for its eucalyptus diet by predigesting the leaves, producing a faecal pap that the joey eats from her cloacum. The pap is quite different in composition from regular faeces, resembling instead the contents of the caecum, which has a high concentration of bacteria. Eaten for about a month, the pap provides a supplementary source of protein at a transition time from a milk to a leaf diet.[84]

There's people who don't know about this already? 

I've always assumed stuff like that was common knowledge. That and rabbits eating their own faeces.

[Yoink]

I just share an island with them, I don't watch 'em pooping in the mouths of their babies.
Funnily enough I was just talking about how fucked up koalas are last ni-- oh wait, I started this tangent didn't I. Nevermind.

[SirQuiamus]

Koalas and cute little bunny rabbits. Cecal pellets are yum-yum.

[Tack]

Yeah that's what happens when you have a few million years of tiny island inbreeding.
Don't even bother with the Tasmanian Devils. Buggers be gross.

Some of you guys here are quite sensitive. While it surely seems disgusting, it didn't really faze me.

My favorite are the komodo dragons, which constantly bleed into their mouths.  The rotting blood hosts bacteria which basically give it a venomous bite.  They attack prey they can't possibly eat all of, like goats and pigs, ambushing like land-crocodiles.  They do their best, though, dragging corpses into the sun (to warm themselves up) and forcing chunks of meat down their throat by headbutting trees.

Baby komodo dragons live in trees to avoid predators, especially *their parents*.  When they have to approach adults, such as to share from a kill, they often roll around in fecal matter to become less appetizing.
