Koala Facts

Although koalas look like bears, they are actually marsupials. Other marsupials include wombats and kangaroos.

What is a marsupial? Marsupials are mammals that give birth to not-quite developed young, and they are usually carried in a pouch. Most marsupials live in Australia and New Zealand. However, there are a few species in the Americas.

The scientific name for the koala is Phascolarctos cinereus.

Koalas can only be found in the wild in Australia. Specifically, in the southeastern and eastern areas of Australia — mostly along the coastlines.

Baby koalas are called ‘joeys’.

Joeys develop in their mother’s pouch for around six months. They spend the next six months hitching a ride on their mother’s back.
