koala joey
Pouch-dwelling Australian baby
A koala joey is a baby koala.
Like other marsupials, joeys are born extremely undeveloped and continue growing in their mother's pouch for about six months before emerging.
The term combines the Australian animal with the general word for marsupial young: The koala joey clung to its mother's back.
