No. You will find a koala in Australia, but you will not find a koala bear in Australia, because no such creature exists. Koalas are marsupials, and are not related to bears in any way.
There are many more native animals in Australia than just the koala. Also, the koala is not Australia's native animal emblem. Australia has no official faunal emblem.

∙ 14y agoNo. Absolutely not.
The koala (which is not a bear at all) is now a protected animal, and people are not permitted to hunt or hurt them. The indigenous Australians (Aborigines) used to eat the koala, and Europeans killed them for their fur, not for food, in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

What does it mean for a koala to be endangered?
If an animal is endangered, it means that threats to its survival are considerable, and that action must be taken to ensure its continued existence. The koala is not currently endangered, but there are campaigns being mounted to have the koala listed as endangered, as threats to its survival are increasing, and there is concern that, if current trends continue, the koalas will be in imminent danger of exinction. If the koala were to be listed as endangered, it would mean higher levels of protection for the animal, particularly in reagrd to its habitat. Fewer housing and residential development would impact upon koala territory.
