Edinburgh Zoo have revealed the name of their newborn joey - and it's very cute.
Named Inala - an Aboriginal word meaning "rest time" or "place of peace" - she is the UK's only koala joey.
Keepers say they traditionally give the Queensland koalas names inspired by their native Australia, where RZSS supports conservation projects for the species.
Kirsty McFaul, senior animal keeper at Edinburgh Zoo said" “Inala is doing well at eight months old and is completely out of mum Alinga’s pouch now.
“She spends most of her time with her mum but is beginning to venture away a little further every day, finding her way about and exploring.
“The zoo is currently closed to the public but the keepers are still here giving all our amazing animals the best of care and we have a live koala cam so viewers can keep an eye on Inala’s dad, Tanami.
