Follow #TZPouchPotato for baby wombat updates.
We’re thrilled that the newest southern hairy-nosed wombat baby, affectionately known as #TZPouchPotato, has burrowed straight into the hearts of our community! Now we need your help choosing the perfect name for her!
You can cast your vote to help name the joey. Be sure to submit your vote by 11:59pm on Wednesday, September 30.
We are so grateful to our partners at the Australian Consulate in Toronto for their suggestions and support in selecting the name options.
You may be lucky enough to catch tiny peeks of #TZPouchPotato in the coming weeks as she gets a little braver and spends more time exploring outside the pouch. Full pouch emergence is expected later this fall!
