Escondido, California - At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park this morning, three female red-necked wallaby joeys were on the move—excitedly zipping around their new home at the Safari Park’s newest exhibit, Walkabout Australia. The almost 11-month-old trio: Laura, Thelma and Tatum, have finally settled into their grassy habitat at Walkabout Australia after weeks of commuting back and forth from their previous home at the Ione and Paul Harter Animal Care Center, as staff slowly introduced them to the habitat and the animals that already reside there. Animal care staff said the young wallabies, which were hand raised, are now doing well in their new home. They are fitting in well with the adult kangaroos and wallabies that share their habitat, and the joeys are displaying natural behaviors and individual personalities.
