Sydney and Millie and 18-month females, and Tucker – 12-month-old male. They all have left their mothers, but the habit of clinging to the mother's back remains.



According to Laura Jones (Laura Jones) who looks after the young generation of Aussies, almost all the time the trio is together, they are probably not quite ready for independent living and need support from each other.



Is so funny to see them sleeping together, " says Laura, in the wild will not see. Tucker is the youngest among them, but, despite this, the girls hold him. Male authority in their honor says smiling, Ms. Jones.



— But seriously, that Tucker just falls asleep first, and Sydney and Millie has no choice as to grab at his back. While this children's instinct they will not pass, they will sleep together. The exact timing we can not name, but as they grow up it will disappear by itself, " explains Laura Jones.



A newborn baby Koala is born very tiny, literally a grain of beans. Just being born, it climbs into the bag, which is on the mother's abdomen. Then, finding the nipple, the baby clings to him and within 12 months fed milk, not leave the mother's bag. For some time to get out of it it starts a little later.



When the baby grows so much that it does not fit in the bag, he moved to the back of the mother and is there for another year. When the mother moved from one tree to another, he clings to her fur with their tenacious paws. By this time the baby feeds on the usual Koala food.



All three cubs were born as part of a special program for the conservation and breeding of rare and endangered species of Australia. Soon the Taronga zoo ready to meet a few more kids who will become the new generation of Aussies this season, said the zoo site.
