Adorable rare white koala joey born at Australia Zoo


A rare white koala joey born at Bindi Irwin's Australia Zoo needs a name, and the public is being asked to help.The unbearably cute marsupial's unusual colouring is not as a result of albinism but is due to a recessive gene inherited from her mother, Tia, who has had other pale coloured joeys in the past.Dr Rosie Booth, Director of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, said it was rarer to see a koala with light fur than it was to see one with albinism.
