An endangered baby kangaroo has seen the world for the first time after emerging from its mum's pouch. The joey was just the size of a jellybean when it was born at Chester Zoo last July.
It then made its way into its mother's pouch without opening its eyes and remained there as it developed. Now the time has come for it to take a look outside for the first time in its life with the moment captured by conservationists.
The rare Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo joey is the first to ever be born at Chester Zoo during its 91 year history. The birth, to mum Kitawa and dad Kayjo, has been hailed as a 'real celebration' for the conservation breeding programme working to protect the highly threatened species from extinction.
