A koala bear resembles a small, stocky marsupial with a round face, large ears, and a broad snout. Its fur is typically grayish or brownish, and it has a cuddly appearance similar to that of a teddy bear. While often referred to as a "koala bear," it is not a bear but rather a unique species native to Australia. Its large, expressive eyes and distinctive features contribute to its endearing look.
