Resident Wallaby Goes To The Library
By: Liz Roberts
Ever since Cherrie was a child she was fascinated by animals and developed a love of them, and knew one day she would have her very own petting zoo.
Thursday during Woodruff Memorial Library’s Summer Reading Program “Tails and Tales” Cherrie introduced the children and adults to her 8 month-old baby Wallaby.
What is a Wallaby?
Wallabies are marsupials, meaning they carry their young around in a pouch and rarely reach heights of 3’3” and a weight of 44lbs. They have compact legs, built for agility when moving across forest floors or rocky escarpments.
Wallaby have ornate coats that are likely to have two or three colors on their coat. The average lifespan is between 11 and 14 years.
At end of program selecting which pouch he wants to climb into.
He goes in head first once he's made his choice.
Just a tail? Oh there he is.
Cherrie and Wallaby saying Goodbye till next time!
