Note that pandas and koalas are not related in any way, therefore they have quite different habits.

Koala joeys remain in the pouch for around six to seven months, where they feed on milk and develop fully. Between six and eight months, they gradually begin to feed on a substance produced by the mother, called "pap". This substance is actually a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves. This is the transition time when the koala begins to venture out of the mother's pouch. After this age, the koala then is carried on its mother's back until the next joey is born in the following breeding season.

Baby pandas stay with their mother for between one and a half to three years.
