Joey at the Zoo

Forget the pandas, Edinburgh Zoo has a joey koala.


It may not be a panda, but we’ve got a baby koala in the zoo!

Alinga and Goonaroo are now the proud parents of a joey koala, keepers at Edinburgh Zoo have announced. However, visitors won’t be able to see the baby koala for another two months (koalas have that weird marsupial pregnancy thing going on) when he/she will pop its head out of Alinga’s pouch and December is when the joey will be christened.

Cuter than the pandas?

As the first baby koala to be born in the UK, keepers at Edinburgh Zoo are extremely excited and have dubbed the occasion “a significant achievement.”

Welcome to Scotland little joey! Try not to steal all the spotlight from the poor pandas though.
