Cute Kangaroo

Baby Kangaroo Plays Peek-a-Boo!

The world must look sunny and bright to baby Parma, a 5-month-old kangaroo at Vienna's Schnbrunn Zoo.

The mini-marsupial, whose sex is still unknown, poked its little head out of its mother's pouch this week for the first time since it was born back in September.

Zoo officials say it will likely be another month before Parma — who is part of a breed that was was once thought to be extinct in its native Australia, but is now one of more than 200 wallabies living in zoos worldwide — finally emerges from the warmth of Mom's belly sack and starts hopping around the play area.

Wallabies are well known throughout Europe a lot of wildlife parks and zooes have them as part of their exhibit. I find them very endearing. The joey in the pouch is not the only one there there is a featus in there as well latched to the other teat in moms pouch. Very practical if one of them dies out the other one will simply grow faster.
