Sorry, Moriarty, there was an entire series of Wild Kingdom shows
set in Australia.  I can't believe that anyone could forget:

"The Koala lives in the Eucalyptus tree, and its leaves are his
only source of nourishment.  If something happens to his home, he
can just move to the next tree.  But if something happens to your
home, it can be much more serious.  So carefully consider home
insurance from Mutual of Omaha, wombat-breath!"

The quote is paraphrased, it's been a while... :-)
