Koalas are certainly not considered bears. The term "koala bear" is a misnomer that is not used in Australia, the koala's native country. It is a mistake commonly made by non-Australians. A koala is not a bear. It is a marsupial. It is not even remotely related to the bear family, all of which are placental mammals.
