Meet the as-yet-unnamed joey Koala, one of a whopping 11 baby Koalas at Australia's Dreamworld’s Wildlife Experience who are getting close to emerging from their mother's pouches . They will be the latest additions to the Koala colony there. Mom Beejay and her little 5 month old joey is featured in today’s post.
While gestation is only 34 days, the baby koala then lives in it's mother's pouch for about another 6 months, where it continues to grow to the point of making an appearance.

He
may have been christened “Logan”, but as soon as
Dreamworld’s superstar emerged from his mum’s
pouch and took a first glimpse of the world late in late 2007, he was
dubbed “Frank” for his extraordinary blue eyes.
He’s
a little puff of fur with intense blue eyes, kind of like a Mel
Gibson with a bit more fluff. Or Sinatra without the croon,”
said Dreamworld’s Life Sciences Supervisor, Michelle Barnes. "I
have worked with koalas for 14 years and have never seen a blue eyed
one before.”
A natural born performer like his namesake!
