SANFORD — The Central Florida Zoo announced the birth of a second red kangaroo Tuesday.

“This is the second birth since the opening of the Horizon Homes of Central Florida Australia Exhibit in April 2005,” said Joe Montisano, CEO. “The joey has been ‘in-pouch’ for several months. During this time, zookeepers and guests could get a glimpse of the joey hanging a foot, ear or head out of the mother’s pouch. Recently, the joey has been staying out in the exhibit with the other kangaroos.”

Visit the Horizon Homes of Central Florida Australia exhibit to glimpse the joey sneaking a peek at visitors. The Zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Zoo is located at 3755 NW Highway 17-92 in Sanford. For more information call 407-323-4450.
