Best Answer

Yes. Like all marsupials, koala joeys are tiny, hairless, blind and completely helpless, unable to survive outside of the mother's pouch.

Do koalas have pouches?

No. Male koalas do not have pouches. The pouch serves the purpose of protecting and nurturing the koala joey, which is completely helpless at birth, and must attach to a female's teat in order to receive the milk it needs. Male koalas have no part in raising the joey.
