Koala joeys at Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast began to pop out of their mum’s pouches in August, as the temperatures rose and the cuddly bubs began to develop independence to explore.

In this video, a number of adorable little koalas can be seen clinging to their mothers’ tummies and backs, or peeping out from their pouches.

Australia Zoo koala keeper Kirsten Latham said several joeys were expected to emerge over the coming months as part of the zoo’s breeding program for the vulnerable species. Credit: Australia Zoo via Storyful
