ST. LOUIS -- She was born the size of a lima bean six months ago.
Now the little kangaroo joey is about the size of a small cat -- and starting to make herself a little more visible at the St. Louis Zoo.
The Zoo issued a press release Friday to gush about Nokopo, a female Matschie’s tree kangaroo joey.
Nokopo, or "Noko" for short, has begun poking her head out from within her mother’s pouch at the Emerson Children’s Zoo at the Saint Louis Zoo.
The Zoo's release explains that Noko is shy, but visitors who are patient might spot her as she reaches for her mother's food and starts to explore more.
In about four months, when Noko is 10 months old, she will leave her mother's pouch but continue to nurse until she is at least 16 months old.
