    Meet the as-yet-unnamed joey Koala, one of a whopping 11 baby Koalas at Australia's Dreamworld’s Wildlife Experience who are getting close to emerging from their mother's pouches . They will be the latest additions to the Koala colony there. Mom Beejay and her little 5 month old joey is featured in today’s post.

    While gestation is only 34 days, the baby koala then lives in it's mother's pouch for about another 6 months, where it continues to grow to the point of making an appearance.

    He’s
    a little puff of fur with intense blue eyes, kind of like a Mel
    Gibson with a bit more fluff. Or Sinatra without the croon,”
    said Dreamworld’s Life Sciences Supervisor, Michelle Barnes. "I
    have worked with koalas for 14 years and have never seen a blue eyed
    one before.”
