They are marsupials that are considered "specialist eaters" since they only eat a certain type of leaf. While generalist feeders aren't as picky as the koala bears. I hope this helps!

Answer:

Herbivore Marsupials

Step-by-step explanation:

Koalas are the herbivore marsupials that are found to be dwelling on the trees, and are dominantly found in the continent of Australia. They are very selective in terms of food, and are able to eat only certain types of plant leaves but not all. They obtain relatively less nutritious food, thereby receives less amount of energy. Due to this, the Koalas are mostly lazy and spend most of their time by sleeping and sitting.
