Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Peek-A-Boo! Adorable Baby Koala Makes Its Grand Entrance From Mum's Pouch
Caption: This is the adorable moment a baby koala pokes its tiny head out of its mother's pouch for the very first time. While most of the newborns are still snugly tucked inside their mums' pouches this adventurous joey has been spotted tentatively emerging, with tiny paws, fluffy ears and a button nose. The special moment was captured at the Australian Reptile Park, where four new joeys have been born this season. The pint-sized marsupial is still too young to be sexed, but keepers are keeping a close eye on its progress as it continues to grow and explore. Koalas face major threats to survival, and without urgent action, they could be extinct in the wild by 2050.
