三、阅读下面短文,回答问题。
The koala is a unique and fascinating animal. It is native to Australia. Koalas live mainly in eucalyptus forests. They spend most of their day sleeping, around 18 - 20 hours. This is because their diet, which mainly consists of eucalyptus leaves, is low in energy. The leaves are also poisonous to most animals, but koalas have a special digestive system that can handle them. Koalas have a very distinctive appearance with their fluffy ears and big black nose. They are arboreal animals, meaning they live in trees.
