Like other mammals, koalas give birth to live young; they feed their young with milk; they breathe using lungs rather than gills; they have hair; and they are warm-blooded, all of which are characteristics of mammals.
Koalas, specifically, belong to a group of mammals known as marsupialia, or marsupials. They are mammals in every sense of the word, but they also have a pouch in which most of the development of the young joey occurs. Other marsupials include the kangaroo, wallaby, wombat, Tasmanian Devil, possum, opossum, quokka, quoll, numbat and phascogale, just to name a few.

∙ 14y ago- Koalas and wombats are both endemic to Australia - this means they are not found anywhere else.
- They are both mammals, meaning they feed their young milk
- Both are marsupials, meaning they have a pouch for their young to grow and develop in.
- Both animals' pouches are backward-facing.
- Koalas and wombats are both herbivorous.
- Both have limited populations in Western Australia, and until the re-introduction of some colonies in WA, koala populations had been wiped out in that part of Australia
- Both have strong legs and claws, though they are for different functions - the koala's are for climbing and the wombat's are for digging
- They are both members 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.

∙ 13y agoThe koala has fingerprints which are unique and distinct from other koalas' fingerprints, and for this reason, very similar to the patterning of human fingerprints.

Would you choose to save a rare frog or a koala?
Logically, the rare frog should be saved, simply because the koala is not yet officially "endangered". It is therefore not in immediate danger of extinction, unlike the rare frog. There is greater awareness of the threats to the koala, and so the koala will always have an advocate. Far fewer people are aware of the different species of frog, let alone whether it is a rare species or not.
