“The animal care team is happy to report the new joey is healthy and well cared for. In the coming weeks and months, they’ll be able to find out if this new addition is a boy or a girl,” the zoo added.

Along with Sprocket and the missing joey, the zoo is also home to two other red-necked wallabies, a female named Eloise and her joey named Bucky, born in October 2020.
