Koala - The koala, like all marsupials, has a pouch that holds the young when first born. However, a koala's pouch faces backwards. Koalas suffer from a fungal disease, cryptococcosis, that causes lesions and abscesses in the lungs, joints, and brain; this disease is zoonotic, meaning it can be spread to humans.
