Koalas are not bears, to begin with. They are marsupials uniquely adapted to the flora of Australia. They live in sub-tropical to temperate eucalyptus bushland, and eat only certain types of eucalyptus leaves. They cannot live in the wild in the US.
They are unable to eat just any type of eucalyptus. While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas eat from only about 60 of the species, consuming about half a kilogram of eucalyptus leaves every day. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. These species do not occur naturally in North America.

Why did koala start getting called koala bears in the Mid twentieth century?
Koalas were called koala bears long before the mid twentieth century. Early European settlers thought they resembled small bears. The name increased in popularity during the twentieth century as two events occurred simultaneously: the rising popularity of the teddy bear in the US (Koalas have some vague resemblance to a teddy bear), and the increase in US visitors to Australia as American servicemen spent time in Australia. The name simply became popular as a result.
