Out of the pouch

After several weeks of hearing that the new baby Parma Wallaby at Drusillas Park had been venturing out of its mothers pouch I was finally able to capture this event for myself last Monday.

I still find it hard to believe how large the joey is and also that it can still completely disappear into its mothers pouch when it wants to.

Whilst it is still staying fairly close to Mum it does venture off around the enclosure a bit, and also investigates nibbling the grass.
