A little PAP, anyone?

Koala babies eat POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAACCCHHHHH!!!

At about this stage it begins to consume small quantities of the semi-liquid form of the mother’s excrement called "pap" in order to inoculate its gut with the microbes necessary to digest eucalypt leaves.

Ugh!! And here I thought them koala babies were sooo cute....
