New Koala Joey Naming Competition

  • Tuesday 13th April 2021
  • Koala, Competition

WLS Koala Joey Cropped

We have welcomed our first Koala Joey of the year and it's a girl! She's still missing a name though, so we need YOUR help to pick one!

 

We are very pleased to announce the arrival of our first Koala Joey of the year and it's a girl! She is still very young but is already quite adventurous outside of mum's pouch.

Just like her mum, Kyara, this little bub is very lively and loves to climb! Sometimes she even loves to climb all over Kyara’s head when all mum wants to do is sleep! Mum is very patient with her little girl and makes sure she is always comfy.

Our baby girl is still missing a name though, so we need YOUR help to pick one! As she is a female koala joey, it is tradition at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo that her name starts with the same letter as her mum's name. Mum's name is Kyara so our joey needs a name starting with the letter 'K'
