A wallaby joey named Opal has been seen in public out of her mother’s pouch for the first time since she was born at Yorkshire’s Flamingo Land.
The baby was seen in the Kirby Misperton theme park exploring her enclosure and sticking close to her mum as she made her public debut.
Most joeys become fully independent at about 11 months old, however before that age the baby can jump back into the pouch when it senses danger.
