where the gordon bennett did you come from?
Keepers were astonished recently to find an albino Bennett’s wallaby peering out of her mum’s pouch. It is not un-common for albinos to be born in captivity and they have been born at Marwell in the past. However, albino wallabies in the 
wild are rare with as few as one in 10,000.
The albino was born to regular grey-brown coloured parents and is the first wallaby to be born this year. Ten more joeys with regular grey-brown colouring can also be seen looking out from their mum’s pouches.
Wallabies are simply small kangaroos. The Bennett’s wallaby is the Tasmanian subspecies of the red-necked wallaby of southern and eastern Australia.
