Koalas are not bears, they are a marsupial mammal indigenous to Australia.
Koalas are not even remotely related to bears. The name "koala bear" is incorrect, and not used by Australians. Koalas are marsupials, unlike bears, which are placental mammals.
There are no bears in Australia.
No. Koalas are marsupials, and bears are placental mammals, and there are many features they do not share.

no they are not in the bear family
