Is a koala a bear?
The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia, and the only extant representative of the family. They are not from the bear family, but the marsupial- meaning they are cousins to kangaroos.

Koalas are often called as "koala bears" - this is not correct. Koala is not a bear but a marsupial. ChaCha again!

The koala resembles a bear, but is actually a marsupial, a special kind of mammal which carries its young in a pouch. ChaCha!
