Jellybean the joey has just left his mother's pouch and he can't stop bouncing
With a name like Jellybean, you'd expect this joey to perhaps have a sugar rush of energy.
The resident at the Australian Reptile Park near Sydney certainly has it in bounds, after venturing outside for the first time on Monday.

Newborn eastern grey kangaroo joeys are less than a gram (0.03 oz), and are raised in the pouch until they're ready to leave, according to the Australian Museum.
It takes about 9 months for a joey to wander outside of the pouch, but will continue to suckle "from time to time" until it gets independence at around 18 months old.
So Jellybean still has a little more time to go, but in the meantime we're just loving watching it takes its first few steps out in the world.
