Going to the toilet immediately after someone has done a number two is one of the worst things in the world. It’s either you have to force yourself to inhale that shit, wait until the smell dissipates, or if you’re lucky enough, find another toilet to use.
Long story short, we know how offensive smelling poo is.
But in the case of koalas, it’s actually not that bad. In fact, they probably have one of the best smelling poos in the world.

We know koalas as that famous animal from the land down under that spends around 20 hours a day just sleeping (I wish I could have that luxury). And for those who have read my other posts, they’re the animal down under that has three vaginas, eat their mum’s shit as joeys, and you could potentially frame at a crime scene.
Do I have a soft spot for koalas? I sure do!
A koala’s diet predominately consists of eucalyptus leaves. And despite there being over 700 species of eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas will only feed on 40 species. They’ll eat between 500g - 800g, or 17 oz - 28 oz of eucalyptus leaves within the limited 3 - 4 hrs they are awake.

What goes in must also come out.
Like all animals, koalas have to poop. And in their case, it comes out as the size and shape of an olive. The added bonus - their poop smell like eucalyptus.
Given their diet, it’s actually not that surprising how nicely smelling their poo is.
Koalas literally shit 24 hrs a day, even when they’re sleeping. Which means they produce a lot of crap - up to 360 a day.
So, if you ever need a nice air freshener, you can expand your options to include koala poo.
