Newest arrival on the Ark
November 18, 2004
We have a new arrival a very young Antilopine Wallaroo.We
at the Ark refer to all the young as the kids.When they
come in to our care we donot give them a name until they
have been a resident for two weeks.As it take that long to
see if they are going to survive.After this time we all
breath a sigh of relieve.But until then we refer to them as
noname.And little noname is doing okay for her fourth
day.Today she started to take the bottle with alittle more
gusto. We estimate she is about 3 to 4 months old.She
doesn't have any hair and is starting to get the grey
colouring that comes before the fine bum fluff. She has
large bone structure and is going to be one big girl.Allthe
colony was a little distress the last few days as we have
been getting some major wind storms. But the good news is
their havent been any dogs hanging around.The group is
growing fast and there are 6 little joeys following their
moms around.So this has been a productive year for them.All
the females have new babys in the pouch some too small to
stick their heads out yet.Web site has not had any
activety,but I am told it takes 3 months so we will see how
we do for one year.Your boys are still hanging around the
house in the day time and go of with the others at
night.They seem to have made their selves at home and we
love them too.Matilda has a new joey in the pouch again.I
wonder if it will be another female if so that makes 3.she
is such a good mother.Pop is living with the colony going
away each night but home in the day.He is hugh now and he
is only 16 months old.Sorry I have to cut this one short as
the roos are calling for their bottles their are 6 of
them,Thank you both for all your support and kindness.Nina
