There is little to differentiate male and female koalas up until they are about 2-3 years old. Once they reach reproductive age, the male's scent gland becomes active, staining his chest yellowish-orange to yellow-brown. At this point, the female is recognisable by the absence of a stain on her chest.The pouch is not a suitable way to distinguish make and female koalas, as it is not visible to the untrained eye.
