The Staten Island Zoo is "hopping" with activity as visitors are coming to see Australian wildlife up close.
Through sponsorship from Pratt Industries, the Staten Island Zoo is now home to two wallabies, two red kangaroos, and a joey (baby kangaroo). They join other "outback" animals in zoo's collection, including emus, kookaburra, and frilled lizards.
So come see the only kangaroos in New York City and have your picture taken with the joey! But hurry - the kangaroos and wallabies pack their pouches and return home September 30th!
