The Kangaroo Sanctuary in the Red Centre of the Northern Territory has a new arrival – a cute new baby red kangaroo.
The big, dark-eyed, fluffy joey is about approximately six months old and is currently too young to come out of her specially made pillowcase pouch, which is where kangaroo joeys live until they are approximately nine months old.
The joey is currently nameless and Northern Territory is reaching out to the public to dream up a suitable name for the little girl
To claim the naming rights of one of the cutest baby animals in Australia, he public is invited to leave their suggestions on the NT’s Facebook page before Monday, 31 May.
Stay tuned to the Northern Territory Facebook page for updates on little Joey’s name, and her progress as she grows.
The Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs rescues, rehabilitates, and releases orphaned baby kangaroos back into the wild.
Those who can’t be released into the wild are released into the 188-acre sanctuary, for visitors to meet and learn about.
