Australian native tree-living animals (6)

I believe the answer is:

koalas

(Other definitions for koalas that I've seen before include "Australian tree-climbing mammals" , "Cute animals" , "Australian arboreal marsupials" , "Australian tree-climbing marsupials" , "Tailless Australian marsupials" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
