Desolation Row

When I first saw this - in a National Park - I assumed that some terrible plant disease had caused this catastrophic deforestation of Eucalypts.

 

However, I subsequently learnt that the culprit was in fact: Koalas! Too many of them. They were so numerous that they had consumed their entire food source (the leaves of the trees) and were now starving as a consequence.

 

Thankfully, there is now a relocation program, to remove the excess Koalas to areas with a more plentiful food supply.
