Koala babies eat their mother's poop (called pap) because their undeveloped digestive systems don't allow them to eat eucalyptus until they are older. As you probably know, eucalyptus --a koala's only food-- is poisonous. Babies are not yet able to process the poisons, relying instead on their mother's doing it for them.
This is really no different than a wolf cub eating it's mother's vomitus until they are able to digest solid foods.

Just when you think all of the retards had made themselves known on Y!A.... POOF there's another one.
Edit: I think you're full of it. If this were a legitimate question why add the not so humorous attempt at the "humorous" question "When did they develop a taste for it?"
Not only that, but if you would've expanded on your question a bit more and stated that you saw it in a documentary or wherever you saw it... maybe someone would be able to take you a little more seriously. To post your seemingly childish question without any details makes you appear to be a troll who is definitely not here to ask an intelligent question.
