History( for the name)The early settlers referred to koalas as

sloth's, monkeys, bears, and even monkey bears, adopting the unfortunate practice of transposing the names of animals which were already familiar to Europeans to Australian look-alikes. The virtual absence of a tail, together with their stocky build and their relatively long legs, gives the koalas a bear-like appearance, and undoubtedly led to their being referred to as, "koala bears", or, "native bears”

difference of fertility.Koalas are not endangered but

people think that they will be soon like in 7 years but we don’t know for sure.
