Slow-moving Australian marsupial that feeds on eucalyptus leaves (5)

I believe the answer is:

koala

(Other definitions for koala that I've seen before include "Tree-hugger" , "One's usually up a tree" , "Marsupial "bear"" , "Eater of eucalyptus" , "Marsupial climber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
