After waiting eight months to help the baby adapt to his new surroundings and gain some strength, Khon Kaen Zoo has officially introduced its newest member, a white wallaby.
Acting Khon Kaen Zoo Director, Thanachon Kensingh, said the male white wallaby used to hide in his mother’s pouch but over time he has become more independent.
To celebrate the baby’s arrival, Khon Kaen Zoo is inviting the public to enter a contest to find a name for the baby wallaby, currently known as “Joey”.
The winner, to be named on Father’s Day on Dec 5, will receive THB10,000, state media reported.
