Spring has sprung at the Zoo with six tiny new arrivals giving visitors plenty to look out for on their next visit!

Among the bundles of joy is a Little Penguin chick hatched to mum Rocky and dad Bob.

At just one-month-old, the little chick has already hit a number of quick milestones, passing it’s latest veterinary check-up with flying colours.

Little Penguins are renowned for forming long-term monogamous pairs and split the parenting feeding duties evenly.  

Offspring will mature quickly and in just four weeks, this not-so-little chick has grown to a plump, healthy 1.2kg, meaning mum and dad are doing a flippin’ good job.

Just metres away in the Australian Wetlands, two Royal Spoonbill chicks have also successfully fledged the nest.

The young Spoonbills are making the most of their newfound independence, exploring the water and surrounding shrubland.



Meanwhile, in the immersive Australian Bushwalk habitat, two Western Brush-tailed Wallaby joeys have also begun emerging from their mothers’ pouches.

Mum Kiltah’s joey is already out and about, hopping around and exploring its new world.

Whilst Kia’s little one is still enjoying the comforts of pouch life, making only the occasional appearance for eagle-eyed visitors.

Western Brush-tailed Wallabies are a largely under-researched species and every new joey born at the Zoo provides an opportunity to learn more about these native marsupials.

It's hoped keepers will be able to successfully record the sex of all the new offspring in the coming months.

Not only are these new arrivals adorable, but they provide a unique opportunity for the community to watch the growth and development of rare wildlife from the very beginning.

Keen-eyed visitors have the chance to spot the six adorable new faces on their next visit to Perth Zoo, which is open everyday from 9am to 5pm.
