Expert Solution

The more accurate name of "koala" is used in this animal's native land of Australia. Koalas are marsupials, just like kangaroos and possums. Like most other marsupials, koalas give birth to babies that are not fully developed and carry their young around for the first few months in a pouch. Koalas are known for being picky eaters and having a diet that consists almost entirely of Eucalyptus leaves. Unfortunately, Eucalyptus leaves do not provide much energy, so koalas typically sleep for 20 hours a day and lead a sedentary lifestyle. Because koalas are not bears, they do not share the opportunistic omnivorous habits of bears. They do not eat honey, ants, nuts, or fish like bears do. Koalas are only found in Eastern and Southern Australia.

Despite the fact that the name "koala bear" is used in the popular culture of some countries, koalas are not bears.
