Koalas are mammals, so they do not shed skin, lose a tail or change from a pupa. This is not a characteristic of any mammal.

Newborn koalas are about 2cm long, pink, hairless and blind. They are completely decent on their mother, and cannot live independently of her, outside of the pouch. As they grow, they develop fur, open their eyes and gradually wean off their mother. For their digestive system to make the transition from mothers' milk to eucalyptus leaves, they must be fed a special sort of food called pap. Pap is actually a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves.
