Three months ago, the Australian Reptile Park’s own “Koala Whisperer”, Life Sciences Manager Hayley Shute, took on the role of surrogate mother to the tiniest koala joey ever hand raised at the Park. Weighing a mere 200 grams when rescued, the adorable joey affectionately named “Albert”, is thriving. He has made remarkable progress under Hayley's dedicated care, now tipping the scales at a healthy 1kg and has found sanctuary with Hayley's family until he is strong enough to reunite with his mum, Elsa, and the other koalas at the Australian Reptile Park.
