the koala.. a marsupial..
In kids programs on ahte telly they often talk about the koala bear.. it is really annoying... I guess because most of the programs are not australian ... it reall annoys me.. poor Claire is going to think the koala is a bear.. there is one program called litle einsteins and they say it heaps ...
I did a look on ask.com to see what kind of animal is a koala and got some interesting results.. one of the atopmost entries tells me that a koala is not actually a bear but a mammal.. wowee.. a bear is also a mammal so no idea what that is supposed to be.. as far as I am concerned a koala is a marsupial.. that meaning that they give birth to live young and feed them milk like a mammal but they have the exception that they keep their young in a pouch...
hhmm I wonder if a panda is a bear?? hhmm it appears that the giant panda and the red panda are related and are bears.. hhmm .. ooh well..
