April 8, 2022
This dusky pademelon, or dusky wallaby, is a type of rare miniature kangaroo. It was born at Chester Zoo in the UK, and staff got this video of it peeking out of mom’s pouch for the very first time. Dusky pademelons are born the size of a jelly bean and stay in their mother’s pouch to develop for about six months. They then grow to be about two feet tall. Dusky pademelons are listed as vulnerable to extinction. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.
