Best Answer

No. A newborn koala joey is completely hairless. It is about the size of a jellybean, and utterly helpless.

What colors is a baby koala when it born?

Being born undeveloped, baby koalas are initially pink and hairless. As they begin to develop fur, they take on the colours of the adult. Koalas are usually either grey (the phascolarctos cinereus adustus subspecies and the phascolarctos cinereus victor subspecies) or greyish brown (phascolarctos cinereus cinereus).


What does the father koala do when the baby is born?

Koalas are marsupials, which means the baby koala is born extremely undeveloped, and then develops fully in the mother's pouch. The tiny, hairless, blind koala joey must make a journey to its mother's pouch after it's born, lured by the scent of her milk, as its sense of smell is very strong. To do so, it has strong claws that grasp its mother's fur as it makes its way to the safety of her pouch. There in the pouch, the teat swells in its mouth, securing it firmly in the pouch while it continues its development for several more months.
