The koala is not a bear, thus should not be called koala bear. The female has a pouch where their young stay until fully developed, much like the kangaroo. They eat eucalyptus leaves which are poisonous to other animals, then sleep about 20 hrs a day.
It was fun looking up in the trees, trying to find all the koalas, while in Australia in Feb, 2008. This was an actual picture of one we saw.
