Australia does not have a wild bear. There are no bear species of any kind found naturally in Australia. Evidently, the answer to this question is supposed to be "koala", but the koala is not a bear. It is not even a placental mammal. It is a marsupial, or pouched mammal, and quite unrelated to any bear species. It has earned the misnomer of "bear" because it vaguely resembles a teddy bear.
Koalas are not bears, so there is no such animal as a "koala bear".And no, there are no dwarf koalas. There is just one species of koala, and it is Phascolarctus cinereus.
