Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has a baby koala for the first time in 10 years. The joey, born in February (the gender is unknown at this time), emerged from its pouch and can now be seen with mom, Mackenzie, at Gumleaf Hideout in Australian Adventure on even numbered calendar dates between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Travis G. Vineyard, animal curator at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo took us behind-the-scenes to tell us more about the newest addition.
