Eucalyptus belongs to the myrtle family. More than 600 species are known in Australia and Indonesia. Eucalypts are the food plants of the koala and some other marsupials. For most other animal species, however, they are poisonous and useless. Koalas also prefer to eat old leaves, in which the toxins are no longer as concentrated as in the young shoots and leaves.
