At 9 months, Omeo may be smaller than other joeys his age, but his first checkup looks promising. Veterinarians examined the young koala's internal organs and lungs, checked his teeth, and did some blood work, and wildlife care specialists confirmed that he's growing stronger every day.

The San Diego Zoo has housed and cared for koalas since 1925 and has the largest colony of koalas—as well as the most successful breeding program—outside of Australia. Staff at the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research are studying koala populations, both at the Zoo and in their Australian habitats, to better understand the species’ complex ecology, mating behaviors and health. The information gleaned from this work will help further develop conservation strategies for koalas.
