The scientific name of the Koala is Phascolarctos cinereus. It is a marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. There is only one species.

The Phascolarctos is derived from the Greek Words phaskolos, meaning "pouch" and arktos, meaning "bear", even though the animal is not even remotely related to bears.

Cinereus is a Latin Word that means "ash coloured". Koalas have light to dark grey fur with brown and white patches and a cream belly.
