Slow-moving Australian marsupial that eats eucalyptus leaves (5)

I believe the answer is:

koala

(Other definitions for koala that I've seen before include "Arboreal Australian native" , "Cuddly Australian marsupial" , "Australian creature" , "Aussie gum-chewer?" , "Eater of eucalyptus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
