Wow! Thank you all! I didn't realise I had achieved SOTD! These little ones are special and it is a pleasure watching them grow. The little fellow in the pouch was getting close to not being allowed back in - a couple more months and mum would be pulling the 'drawstring' tight!
Congrats,lovely picture!
Adorable photos! Congrats on sotd :)
What a wonderful capture kd, and congratulations! A wallaby joey peeks out from its mother’s pouch in our Spotting of the Day.
Measuring less than an inch long at birth, newborn wallabies crawl into their mothers' pouches where they continue to develop for a couple of months. Once a joey leaves the pouch, it often jumps back in when it feels threatened.
