The kangaroo mob at Kyabram Fauna Park is jumping for joy at the arrival of two Kangaroo Island joeys and two Eastern Grey joeys.
One Kangaroo Island joey is already hopping around and climbing all over mother Winnie, while the three others can be seen poking their heads out of their mothers’ pouches.
Kyabram Fauna Park macropod keeper Claire Bensted said the joey and his mum were a joy to watch.
“The new joey is so boisterous and confident,” Ms Bensted said.
“Winnie is a great mum.”
Kangaroo Island joeys tend to reach independence earliest, at about eight months, while Eastern Grey kangaroos usually take slightly longer before making the leap.
Ms Bensted said visitors could enjoy walking through woodlands and observe the joey as he grew into a 60kg male.
“The large woodland setting allows the kangaroos to comfortably undertake their parenting behaviours, graze together and rest together,” Ms Bensted said.
“As we come into spring, the other three joeys will start to hop out of the pouch and join the rest of the mob, which will be lovely to see.”
