Note
An ordinary plural made with the regular English -s: one koala, two koalas. The capitalized Koala is a different matter. It is a surname, two villages in Burkina Faso, and a former kingdom in Liptako, West Africa, founded by the Gourmantché people. In a history of West Africa, Koala names a place, not the Australian marsupial Phascolarctos cinereus.
