According to UNILAD, after a routine pouch inspection earlier this year, the tiny joey was the size of a jelly bean and now, six months later, he’s ready to take on the world, but as you’ll see in the video, very cautiously.
Over the next few months, the joey will continue to pop his head in and out of the pouch until he’s eventually ready to be completely independent.
