    awwwww!!!! what a sweet image!!! They are called Joey?? like a kangaroo?? Up here bear babies are called “cubs”.

  • Shannon Plummer replied

    Thanks Jan, Yes they are called Joeys since Koala’s are not bears but from the marsupial family meaning they carry young in a pouch as they develop.
