How much can a koala bear?

Caramello Koala. Not a bear.

Here's how Reuters reported on US Vice President Mike Pence's visit to Australia. Pence, his wife Karen, and daughters visited Sydney's Taronga Zoo, and met some native animals. This included a koala, which the Reuters article erroneously described as a bear. As I distinctly remember learning in primary school, koalas are marsupials, not bears.
