You may be wondering:

Note how different their systems are! The cecum of the canine is almost diminutive compared to the large coiled cecum of the koala, who also possesses a much longer and more intricate large intestine.
The reasoning for these divergences in physiology relate to the very natures of these mammals. The dingo is an opportunistic carnivore that feasts on a wide variety of animals, plants, and other prey in order to survive. In contrast, the koala is infamously known for only eating one type of leaf, Eucalyptus.
Here are jsome of the most fascinating comparisons between these two species, which will be further explored in this website. Enjoy!
