  • Giant Pandas are bears, and placental mammals, and koalas are not. Koalas are marsupials, and are not related to bears in any way. They are not "koala bears" - just "koalas".
  • Giant Panda young are called cubs and koalas young are called joeys.
  • Giant Pandas' cubs are born far more developed than koala joeys. Koala joeys are about the size of a bean when born, and must complete their development in the mother's pouch.
  • Koalas live almost exclusively on gum (eucalyptus) leaves and, occasionally, flowers. Pandas live on bamboo shoots and other vegetation.
  • Koalas are much smaller than Giant pandas.
  • Koalas are essentially grey in colour; Giant pandas are distinctively black and white.
  • Koalas are endemic to Australia alone, meaning they are found only on the Australian continent. Giant Pandas are endemic to parts of Asia.

The most obvious adaptation to help it eat many different types of Bamboo is its 'sixth toe'. The Giant Panda has five regular appendages that humans would consider toes or fingers. It also has a sixth 'thumb' that allows the Giant Panda to grasp Bamboo better for eating The Giant Panda Bears head is also an adaptation to eating Bamboo. Giant Pandas are in the family Ursidae, which is the bear family. The Giant Panda has a very large head compared to the other species in its family. The head is so large because Bamboo is a very strong, hard plant Another adaptation having to do with the Giant Pandas head is its molars. The molars of the Giant Panda have adapted to being very large and smooth. This makes the Giant Panda different from most bears because it only uses its molars to chew the very tough Bamboo
