Best Answer

To Australians, koalas are not exotic.

Koalas are exotic to the rest of the world because they are unique to Australia. 'Exotic' means 'of foreign origin or character; not native', so koalas are considered exotic in other parts of the world to which they are not native.

How much is a koala bear?

"How much can a koala bear" is a facetious Australian saying, not often used anymore, that reflects complete disillusionment. When faced with difficult circumstances, some Australians have been known to utter this phrase. It is not known how or why the saying developed, but it partially arose out of the frustration associated with the fact that koalas are not bears yet overseas visitors insist on calling them "koala bears". In this phrase, the word "bear" is used as a verb, not a noun, but it is a play on the erroneous calling of koalas "koala bears".
