The males have a brown patch of fur on their upper legs and groin area. It is the glands where the male gives off its scent for marking family territory. The females, not needing to mark their territory (hence the need for a mate), do not have these glands or fur coloration.

The females have a pouch - males don't, and their reproductive systems are different, as with all mammals.

Males are larger than females. The adult male also has a yellow-brown stain on its chest, the result of his scent gland which is used to markhis home trees.

In physical appearance, there are a few differences. Males are larger than females, to begin with. Secondly, females have a pouch. The most obvious difference between male and female koalas, however, is the scent gland on the male's chest, which gives an adult make a yellow-stained chest.

The female koala has a pouch.

Also, mature male koalas have a scent gland on the chest, the effect of which is to cause a brownish yellow stain on the fur of their chest.
