Koala Correction: Koala is derived from an aboriginal word for "no drink", not "no water". There is also no single word for "no water" as there are over 200 aboriginal languages in Australia.

The name 'koala' is thought to have come from an Aboriginal word, possibly kwala - meaning 'no drink' (sometimes translated as "no water"). This is because the koala does not need to drink, taking in all its moisture from the gum leaves it chews. It tends to only seek extra water during prolonged drought or heatwaves.
According to some websites, koala means "no drink" in Aboriginal language. According to Wikipedia, this is incorrect. If you look up the word koala in the Online Etymological Dictionary, it says "1808, from the Aboriginal name of the animal, variously given as koola, kulla, kula." However, it is true that koalas rarely drink water. They usually get enough water from their food. There was a picture recently (2009) in the news of a koala rescued from a wildfire in Australia that was given water from a bottle and accepted it, but the fire would have made the koala thirsty and in need of water.
to conserve water
no there are hardly any that can do that. One i know is a koala
No. There is no king koala, and koalas are not bears. There is no such creature as a "koala bear". It is just "koala".
A koala bear is called 'koala' in French.
