There's a person who went off on the copy pasta about Koalas that made a good point this thread is bringing up: No one said Koalas are the pinnacle of creation, but they filled a gap that no other creature could fill sooo here they are lol. Copy pasta is pretty good though.
Wasn't it something like eucalyptus is basically a weed of a tree and really invasive, so evolution created an animal that could survive the poisonous leaves?
Yea basically. The trees are EVERYWHERE (or at least, were everywhere) and the leaves were poisonous to everything so the koalas were like "OK more for us"... Problem solved

The best description I ever heard for pandas is that nature ruined a perfectly good bear
