The koala is sometimes mistakenly called a "koala bear" or a "native bear". These names are incorrect as the koala is a marsupial, not a bear, which is a placental mammal.
There are no particular names for the male and female koala. Sometimes the male is referred to as a "buck" and the female as a "doe", but these terms are not formally recognised. The young koala is called a joey, which is the same name by which all young marsupials are known.
The koala is just known as a koala.
Joe and Nick are the Koala Brothers names.
