Two tiny baby koalas have made their first appearance at the Saitama children's zoo in Japan.
The two six-month old males, who have not yet been named, have only recently emerged from each of their mother's pouches.
Animal lovers are now queuing up to get their first glimpse of the new arrivals. One visitor, 25-year-old Tomomi Miayano, said: "The babies are smaller and cuter than I thought."
. . . Young male koalas are rare in Japan despite the country's nine zoos in which koalas are raised.
Keeper Rieko Tanaka said: "Very few young and energetic koalas are available in Japan. So it will be impossible for us to keep breeding them if nothing is done in near future. I hope some young male and female Koalas are sent here from Australia for that purpose." . . . more.
