WOW! What a wallaby. This washing powder-white bundle of bounce has just been born at Paultons Park, near Ower in the New Forest.
The arrival of little Snowdrop was a bit of a shock for mum Primrose, whose fur is the normal wallaby-brown. But albino joeys are not that uncommon - just ask Dad.
White wallaby Avalanche, pictured above, is Snowdrop's proud papa, and if the new baby takes after his father in more than just fur colour, he'll tip the scales at a hefty six stone.
"Male wallabies tend to weigh a lot more than females, but we don't know yet if Snowdrop is a boy or a girl. We won't know for about another month when the baby is likely to take its first jump from Primrose's pouch," said assistant livestock manager Jamie Summers.
