Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Despite the widespread colloquial use of “koala bears", koalas are not actually bears-they are marsupials. European settlers that arrived in Australia inaccurately called koalas ‘bears’ because of their resemblance to bears. Their Latin name Phascolarctos cinereus actually means “pouched bear".
Detailed explanation-2: -Here’s the truth: Despite some pop culture references to adorable “koala bears”, the species you can see all winter at Gumleaf Hideout is actually a marsupial, not a bear. Marsupials are mammals that have a pouch; think other Australian animals like kangaroos and wallabies.
