Koalas do not get drunk on eucalyptus oil.
If you hear someone say this you can laugh and say, no that is a fairytale! It really was thought to be true but it is not.
The reason people thought this is because they sleep so much, so deeply, and often in such funny floppy positions.
The truth is that it takes so much energy to digest those tough leaves that they need to sleep a lot.
Why they sleep in such funny positions though is something you would have to ask the koala directly!
