Wallabies

 

Get up close and personal with our Dama Wallaby family.  Pat and hand feed these gentle little animals. 

They were introduced into the wild in New Zealand in 1838 and are found wild around Rotoruas' lakes.  Wallabies are a pest as they eat our native vegetation.  Being a marsupial they carry their young in their pouch - for approximately 250 days.  At the moment we have three mothers with baby joeys in their pouches.
