About	Do not remember what this little critter is called and could not take a picture of the sign since I was using my 500MM lens HAND HELD mind you. It is not the best shot of mom as the leaves were distracting, however you can see one foot, the face and both front paws of the baby outside of the pouch, and the baby's eyes are open. It was just too precious not to share with all of you. 380MM

Thanks Onie. I guess I will have to go back to the zoo to find exactly what this is....in the meantime I have named it "pretty cute furry thing"

~~GRIN~~ Marlyce... Maybe one of the below... Looks to small for a kangaroo so guessing a wallaby or pademelon......

We ( supposedly Bek ~~GRIN~~) looked after an orphaned young grey kangaroo joey quite a few yrs back when we lived in the mountains... Hunters had shot the mother...

Kangaroos and wallabies are marsupials that belong to a small group of animals called macropods. They are only found naturally in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Most macropods have hind legs larger than their forelimbs, large hind feet, and long muscular tails which they use for balance. The word macropod actually means 'big foot'. Kangaroos and wallabies are most active at night, dusk and dawn.

All kangaroos and wallabies have forward-opening pouches. Other marsupials – wombats and koalas – have pouches that open backwards.

The kangaroo superfamily consists of two family groups. Kangaroos, wallabies, pademelons and tree kangaroos make up one family, while rat-kangaroos, bettongs and potoroos make up the other. There are 45 species of kangaroos and wallabies...
Hope this helps...

Onie...

Marlyce -- I love the side glance of the baby and the soft and gentle appearance of Mom. Nicely done.
--Best to you, Jan
