No. Koalas have a woolly light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly. Mature males have a brown stain on their chest, the result of a gland which produces an orange coloured discharge. This is used to mark the trees the male climbs by rubbing this gland against the base of the tree and the trunk.
Albino koalas have been recorded, but are extremely rare.
Southern koalas tend to have fur that is darker and tending more towards brown than that of koalas found in the north of Australia, but it is not red.
