I beg to differ because as per the wiki page for the koala, a koala is a marsupial

"Although the koala is not a bear, English-speaking settlers from the late 18th century first called it koala bear due to its similarity in appearance to bears. Although taxonomically incorrect, the name koala bear is still in use today outside Australia — its use is discouraged because of the inaccuracy in the name"

Im sure this has already been posted. x

I can confirm that a koala is 100% a marsupial, despite it's name - I'm doing a degree in zoology

Edit: It has been posted before, here - but with different end date, which has now been extended.

weeowens

Hi,after searchiing for this it appears that they have extended a few of their comps.If it is OK I'll change my end date & get it merged with this one.I'll look at the others & see where we are as well.
Everthing seems the same except for the date so I take it as extension & not a new comp?Any opinions before I ask for the merge.
