【X-Deal (2011)】

Macadamia is X-Deal (2011)as cute as a button, or a tiny nut, perhaps more accurately.

The koala joey is the first of 12 babies at Australia Zoo this year, weighing only half a gram and being the size of a jelly bean when he was born.

Macadamia joins more than a dozen koalas at Australia Zoo, where you can bet visitors will keep a keen eye on one of the youngest residents.

You'd have to be lucky though: Koalas are known for sleeping more up to 20 hours a day, due to a diet of eucalyptus leaves which are relatively low in nutrition.
