Koalas are not bears.
And yes they do, as they are marsupials. (It should be noted that not all marsupials actually have pouches.) Marsupials generally have pouches in which the young develop. An exception to this is the numbat.

∙ 11y agoYes, the female koala does have a pouch. The newborn joey crawls to the mother's pouch where it latches onto a teat which then swells in the joey's mouth, securing it firmly in place. Koala joeys will spend several months growing and developing in the pouch before they then cling to their mother's back.

A koala's pouch is on its abdomen. It is unusual because it is a backward-facing pouch, opening downwards, instead of at the top.
