Analysis of koala populations at intermediate geographic distances would be required to assess gene flow accurately.
What is more, several mammal species including the taciturn koala have it permanently lowered.
Since wombats are cousins of the koala, this seems highly appropriate.
Thus, among names for animals, we have: kangaroo, koala, wombat, brumby (a wild horse), galah (a small, pink and grey cockatoo), barramundi (a lungfish) and bunyip (a fabulous amphibious monster).
I refer not to a wallaby or a koala, but to a television interviewer who did not treat her with sycophantic self-abasement.
Unlike most other marsupials, the koala does not clean her pouch.
In koalas, wombats and marsupial moles, the pouch opens backward or down.
For example, a koala bear (see below) looks and acts much like a bear, but in actuality, it is quite distinct and unrelated.
