The Denver zoo’s red-necked wallaby Adelaide has a new baby hanging out in her pouch.
After spotting a joey popping its head out of Adelaide’s pouch, the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance announced an exciting birth this week: the first marsupial born in its new Down Under habitat. The joey is Adelaide’s firstborn.
Animal caretakers can’t tell the exact birthday of wallabies because as soon as they are born, the jelly-bean-sized young quickly crawl into their mother’s pouch, where they will develop for 12-17 months.
The zoo estimates that this joey was born around Sept. 1.
The zoo reports the joey has been seen peeking out more, which means it’s becoming more curious about the world and getting closer to moving out of Adelaide’s pouch.
