The koala is found in coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia, from Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula.

Koalas are often called as "koala bears" - this is not correct. Koala is not a bear but a marsupial. The closest relative of koala is a wombat, which also has cute and cuddly appearance, but it's never called a "wombat bear"
