Koalas are not bears; nor are people taking them. koalas are marsupials, and protected native animals of Australia. In the late 1800s and early 1900s they were hunted for their fur, but this stopped when government legislation was brought in to protect them, as the population had been reduced to near-extinction. Now, one will not find koalas being "taken".
