I always thought it was kangaroos that formed a mob or a troop but that messes up a lot of other answers.

If we are talking Marsupial (as in the clue) it can only be Kangaroo or Koala unless there's another obscure Marsupial starting with 'K'.

33 Kangaroo - you have a mob of kangaroos. What gives you the first and third As in your letters

[Oldred]

Coldstream - you need to revisit 21d and 23d
