Tiny kangaroo joey hops to social media stardom

The weather may be getting colder, but a new addition to the Australian Reptile Park has a lot of spring in her step.

Eight-month-old Jellybean, an eastern grey kangaroo joey, is the latest bouncing bundle of joy stealing hearts at the sanctuary and on social media.

A video of Jellybean taking her first hops has gained more than 100,000 views overnight, after it was posted on The Australian Reptile Park’s Facebook page.

“Jellybean is such a gorgeous addition to our Reptile Park family,” the park’s general manager Tim Faulkner said.

“She’s proving to be a hit with visitors with her photo popping up on social media more and more each day!”
