Edinburgh Zoo has announced the name of its newest swamp wallaby joey.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) shared the news on Monday morning that the adorable baby wallaby is called Kermit. Alongside the announcement, the RZSS also shared a cute photo of the youngster.
The eight-month-old joey was born to parents Kaitlyn and Kindal. She is now fully out of her mother's pouch and can be seen at Edinburgh Zoo's Wallaby Walkthrough.
According to the zoo's website, it is now home to seven swamp wallabies including Kermit and her parents. The other wallabies who live at the Wallaby Walkthrough are Allibo, Marcello, Allora, and Luca.
Kermit and the other swamp wallabies are able to be adopted through the RZSS website. Adoption involves financially supporting the animal and its development in exchange for a special adoption folder and certificate, while the adopter's name will also appear at the animal's enclosure.
The wildlife charity states: "Animal adoption is a great way to support the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park by giving threatened species a future and helping create a world where nature is protected, valued and loved. Treat yourself or buy as a gift for the animal lover in your life!"
Native to eastern Australia, swamp wallabies are marsupials that look somewhat similar to kangaroos. However, they are smaller and have longer fur.
Also commonly known as black wallabies, black-tailed wallabies, fern wallabies, or black pademelons, they are usually around 70 centimetres in length. Meanwhile, the cute animals are herbivores and tend to live for around 15 years.
