Koalas are not bears. They are marsupials with very specialised needs, feeding on the leaves of only a selected number of eucalyptus species. The zoo would have to ensure staff understood the unique needs of this animal. Koalas sleep for 16-20 hours a day. If people who visit the zoo wish to see animals with which they can interact, they will be disappointed by the koala. The koala is a beautiful creature with soft, thick fur, but it is not really "personable".
A baby koala can be found in various zoos and in the wild in Australia. It is illegal to keep a baby koala as a pet in the United States without a Zoo licence.

The reason there is no bears in a zoo and you only see it them in a Zoo in fimls and movies is because not all bears have the same habitat, some live in big forests, rarely zoo's. Some also live in uncommon mountains, 9 times out of 10 the bears that live in forests are harmless, and the bears that are from the uncommon mountains are likely to be dangerous!
