The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Red Necked Wallaby Joey

Posted in ,

A timid red necked wallaby joey peeks out from the safety of Mom's pouch today at the Taronga Zoo in Australia. Being one of the largest Wallabies, it is easily confused for a kangaroo.  Its distinguishing features include black paws and a white strip over it's upper lip.

    Joeys are cute. No matter how much I try to deny it, they just are.
    (BTW, I think the adult is a male red kangaroo, not a female red-necked wallaby. And if you’re wondering how you can sex red roos without checking out their nethers, it’s the fur colour. Males are red, females are blue-grey. No, really.)
