Koala Jordan was loaned toย Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary,ย from the Queensland Government Daisy Hill Koala Centre in February 2022, as part of a special breeding program.

Weโ€™re pleased to announce his time atย Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuaryย has been very successful.

In recent months, Jordan has helped conceive 3 Koala joeys, which are now out of their motherโ€™s pouches and enjoying the Koala Nursery.

One of the new joeyโ€™s, a girl, was born to mother Kirsty, who is also on loan from theย Queensland Governmentย Daisy Hill Koala Centre. This joey is yet to be named.

The other joey, born to mum Osha fromย Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, is a boy named โ€˜Bubblesโ€™.

And the third joey, a boy, born to mum Bon Bon fromย Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, is yet to be named.

This is a very exciting milestone for bothย Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuaryย and theย Daisy Hill Koala Centre, as well as a step in the right direction for ongoing Koala conservation.

Jordan was an orphaned Koala and was hand raised by a carer, his chances of survival were considered too low to for release back into the wild. If you’d like to support us please donate.
