The park has hinted that even more bundles of joy could be on the horizon, as several female koalas who were paired later in the season are now showing tell-tale signs of pregnancy Ellesha Veness, a devoted mammals keeper at the park, beamed with pride over the successful season: "We're deeply committed to saving this iconic Australian species, so each successful breeding season is a huge win for us. These four joeys — and hopefully a few more on the way — show that our efforts are really making a difference. We couldn't be happier!".But amid the cuteness, there's a sobering reminder of the bigger picture "Koalas across Australia face severe threats, with habitat loss happening faster than ever," Ellesha warned. "Sadly, experts predict koalas could be extinct in the wild by 2050 if we don't act now. Every koala we help protect is a step towards securing their future.".When: 14 Jul 2025.Credit: Australian Reptile Park/Cover Images. - 20250714_PD11936 - Rechteinfo: Rights Managed (RM)
