Video: Baby koala pops out of 'mum's pouch to say hello', netizens overjoyed

While the horrifying bushfires in Australia ravaged most of the natural habitat, the Australian Reptile Park recently introduced the ‘first koala joey of the season’. While taking to Facebook on May 27, the Park released a video of the baby koala popping out of its ‘mum pouch to say hello’. The authorities even informed that the keepers decided to name the joey Ash as it is the first koala born at the park since the bushfires. 

In the video, one can see a koala clinging onto a tree. As a keeper approached the koala mom, she immediately clutched the person. While the keeper and the koala enjoy some precious moments together, the video then reveals the Joey popping out of the koala mom. One can see, the baby koala looking curiously at the new world. The video then ends with the staff weighing the mother koala, who turned out to be in perfect health.
