Meet albino wallaby joey, Olaf, born at Helensburgh's Symbio Wildlife Park
ABCIt took zookeepers at a New South Wales wildlife park more than five months to discover that a new joey, born to two red-neck wallabies, carried the rare genetic condition albinism. When the male joey was born, Symbio Wildlife Park zookeepers quickly named him Olaf, after the snowman in Frozen, due to his snow-like appearance. " "It was only maybe six weeks ago that we started to realise that he had those features of albinism," Ms Florance said. Red-necked wallaby life expectancy Life expectancy for a red-necked wallaby living in the wild is around 12 to 13 years according to Ms Florance However, she said that given Olaf will remain at Symbio he could live to the age of 15.
