This photo, provided by the Wildlife Conservation Society, shows a Matschie's tree kangaroo joey that made its first appearance from its mother's pouch at New York's Bronx Zoo , Thursday, July 18, 2024. The joey, born at the end of December, is the second of its species born at the Bronx Zoo and to this female since 2021.
The tiny Matschie’s tree kangaroo, or Dendrolagus matschiei, was born in December and is the second born to the same mother since 2022. It also was the third of its kind born at the Bronx Zoo since 2008.

They look like stuffed animals, it's amazing.”
