Victoria koalas and New South Wales koalas are two other types of Australian koalas. Albino koalas are very rare. Like bears, they are mammals. They have round fuzzy ears, and they look cute and cuddly, like a teddy bear. Marsupials include kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, wombats, and possums.
Koalas look soft but their fur actually feels like the wool on a sheep.
They also seem cuddly, but they are wild animals and don't make good pets. All female marsupials have pouches in which they carry their babies. Most types of marsupials are native to Australia. The opossum is the only marsupial native to North America. A fuzzy foot, nose or ear sticking out of a pouch is often the first sign that a female koala has given birth.
