The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. Its closest relative is the wombat. Koalas are indigenous to Australia and live in t â¦ ropical to temperate eucalypt forest and woodlands. They can be found along the eastern and south-eastern coastal regions.
