Supply a boar, elk and a pouched creature (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

koala bear

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'creature' is the definition.
(type of animal)

'supply a boar elk and a' is the wordplay.
'supply' is an anagram indicator (in a supple way).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a'+'boar'+'elk'='aboarelk'
'aboarelk' after 'a' is 'aaboarelk'.
'aaboarelk' with letters rearranged gives 'KOALA BEAR'.

'pouched' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for koala bear that I've seen before include "Creature" , "Australian arboreal marsupial" , "Eucalyptus eater" , "Marsupial climber" , "Native of Australia" .)
