Keepers at Taronga Western Plains Zoo are delighted to report early sightings of a male Koala joey that is now just over five months old and starting to emerge from its mother's pouch. The yet to be named Koala joey is the third offspring for mother, Wild Girl who is displaying very positive nurturing behaviours. Wild Girl arrived at the Zoo's Wildlife Hospital after being hit by a car. Unfortunately because of her injuries she couldn't be released. She joined the Zoo's Koala group in early 2013 and has since played an important role in the breeding program. (Photo by Splash News and Pictures)
