∙ 13y agoThe Kodiak Bear is the same species as the Grizzly Bear and both share a common Brown Bear ancestor. But the Kodiak lives in romote parts of Alaska (Evolved on the Island of Archipelag) and the colder climate means that it has grown much biggar then the Grizzly's that live further south in warmer forrests.
Grizzly's and Kodiaks are both huge, but the Kodiak is much bigger(the same weight as a Polar Bear, 1500 pounds) and is reputed to be more agressive.

∙ 14y agoMore to the point - what is similar?
The two creatures are very different, with the only similarity being that they are both mammals.
Differences include:
- Koalas are not found outside Australia; no species of bear is found in Australia.
- Koalas are marsupials; bears are placental mammals.
- Koalas are not related to bears in any way, shape, form or classification. They are not "koala bears" - just "koalas".
- Koalas live almost exclusively on gum (eucalyptus) leaves and, occasionally, flowers. Bears are omnivorous, eating a great variety of foods.
- Koalas are essentially grey in colour; bears can be black or brown or, like pandas, black and white

Can a grizzly Bear defeat a Koala bear?
A grizzly bear is larger and more powerful than a koala which, incidentally, is not a bear at all, but a marsupial. A grizzly bear could easily defeat a koala, and kill it with a single swipe of its paw. However, being smaller, a koala would be capable of climbing higher up a tree, into the smaller branches, which would be unable to support a grizzly bear. In doing do, the koala could defeat any grizzly bear's intentions.
