Dudley Zoo shows off baby wallaby Rupert

Baby wallaby Rupert poses with mum Betty

A zoo has been showing off the latest addition to its family of wallabies.

Dudley Zoo posted an image of seven-month-old Rupert, a Bennett's wallaby, that has only just emerged from mum Betty's pouch.

Females give birth after a 30-day gestation period to babies that are not fully formed but crawl into the mother's pouch where they continue to develop, the zoo says.

Rupert is still hopping in for a snuggle every now and again, it adds.
