Have you ever heard someone refer to a koala as a "koala bear"? Well, like bears, koalas are mammals with round, fluffy ears and they look cute and cuddly like a teddy bear. But koalas are not bears. They are members of a group of pouched mammals called marsupials, which include kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, wombats, and opossums. Though they look soft, their fur resembles the thick wool of a sheep. And despite their cuddly appearance, koalas are not tame and do not make good pets. The Koala Cam at the San Diego Zoo offers a fascinating view of these adorable marsupials in their natural habitat, allowing you to observe their behavior and daily habits. Take this opportunity to learn more about these incredible animals and appreciate their beauty and uniqueness.
