No. Koalas are not bears, and they are not related to hamsters or any other placental mammal. Koalas are marsupials of the order Diprotodontia, and they are most closely related to wombats. Wombats are also not related to hamsters, despite being short-legged burrowing animals. Other, more distant, relatives of the koala are Kangaroos and possums (not opossums), which also belong to the order Diprotodontia.
The koala, which is not a bear, is most closely related to the wombat.
