I thought pandas only ate a certain type of bamboo leaves.

Nah, it's just what's easily available where they live. Bamboo makes up 99% of their diet in the wild, but they will eat eggs, fish, meat, or other veggies if they stumble upon it.

Wasn't that koalas, who are dumb as fuck and will starve to death if their leaves aren't on a tree?

Koalas eat mainly eucalyptus leaves. They do have a reputation for being picky eaters. I believe out of the hundreds of different Eucalyptus species they prefer to eat only a few dozen species. But they can also be found on other tree species occasionally.

I've seen Reddit posts that mention this idea that a Koala is too stupid to recognise leaves that are on the ground. I haven't found any reputable sources for the claim though.
