Visit Phoenix Zoo's new koala exhibit
Sooky the koala
Sooky, an infant koala, clings to her mother, Orana, at the San Diego Zoo in 2008. Sooky, now 2, has arrived at Phoenix Zoo with her 4-year-old brother, Kobi. The fuzzy marsupials will reside until March 2011 in the Valley, on loan from the San Diego Zoo in a program to raise awareness about the destruction of wild koala habitat in Australia. Sooky and Kobi’s exhibit will open to the public for the first time on Sunday. >> Koalas debut at 9 a.m. Sunday at The Phoenix Zoo, 455 N. Galvin Parkway. Their exhibit is included in general admission of $9-$18 per person. (602) 273-1341 or phoenixzoo.org.
