The nearest relative to the koala is the wombat, even though they are vastly different in appearance. Koalas and wombats are both marsupials of the order Diprotodontia. The koala's family, Phascolarctidae, is closest to the wombat family, Vombatidae because they are both of the sub-order Vombatiformes.
