Koalas have a superb tooth system with sharp incisors to break off leaf and a great set of molars to grind it before swallowing. As koalas age, their teeth wear down. So it is difficult for old koalas to break down leaf with advanced tooth wear. | Koala Hospital Port Macquarie

Did you know that a koala's teeth 🦷 can reveal its age? Just like humans, koalas experience dental wear over time ⏳️. By examining 👀 the condition of their teeth, experienced wildlife vets 🩺 and carers can make educated guesses about their age. As koalas 🐨 spend their lives chewing on tough eucalyptus leaves 🍃, their teeth naturally wear down. Older koalas often have more worn teeth 😁, with visible grooves and ridges. These signs of wear and tear provide valuable clues about their lifespan
