Koalas have fingerprints so similar to human ones that they are hard to tell apart under a magnifying glass.

Why it is true

Although koalas are marsupials and humans are primates, both evolved to grip tree trunks and branches. That evolutionary pressure led to the development of ridges on the skin of their fingertips, which increase friction. Koala fingerprints are so similar to ours that forensic experts have admitted they could be confused.
