Este singurul reprezentant existent al familiei Phascolarctidae i este nrudit cu vombatul. This would provide genetic analysis to zoos andwildlife parks as a low-cost alternative to the more expensive microsatellite markers. Koala ( Phascolarctos cinereus) numit i ursul cu pung sau eronat ursul koala este un mamifer marsupial erbivor arboricol endemic din Australia. Our RAPD–PCR method generatesinformative genetic markers that are useful for parentagedetermination and individual identification of captivekoalas. These RAPD markers successfullydetermined both parents to three offspring and a male parent to a fourth offspring.Paternity analysis (where the female parent is known)succeeded in assigning the correct male parent to sevenoffspring. Of the32 RAPD markers generated in koalas, 25 were informativefor parentage analyses. All 25 koalas could be uniquely identified using either RAPD or microsatellite markers. Wildlife park that offered koalas for RENT to 'impress guests' at parties for thousands of dollars an hour is slapped down by furious minister. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats, which are members of the family Vombatidae. The koalas' charm is what makes these chubby gray mammals a delightful way to decorate your baby’s nursery, child’s bedroom, or their play area. The koala or, inaccurately, koala bear (Phascolarctos cinereus), is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. These cuddly tree-dwelling marsupials only live in Australia, making them unusual and exotic. A high level of polymorphism was observedfor each group of koalas (Featherdale, 71.9% Lone Pine,84.4%). The poster child for cute and cuddly, koalas have sweet expressions, oversized ears, and fluffy fur. Of the 25 RAPDprimers screened, 5 (20.0%) produced 32 repeatable polymorphic RAPD bands (average/primer = 6.4± 4.2). Highly repeatable randomly amplified polymorphicDNA (RAPD) markers were developed for parentage studiesin the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats, which comprise the family Vombatidae.

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus, or, inaccurately, koala bear) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia.
