Family:
KiKi is the adventurous daughter of YuYu. She left her mother when she was only 9 to 10 months old. Soon after, in January 2017, she was found 1.7km away from her mother trying to escape from male Cruiz. Koala Researcher Mel took some amazing video of KiKi swinging through the treetops. Watch
KiKi avoided Cruiz that day, but sometime within a month she mated with one of the males. To our great surprise, in early September 2017 we noticed a baby bump! Since then we’ve seen KiKi and baby Kozo (now a mother herself) a lot.
Kiki has had a joey every year since Kozo – LuLu, daughter of Clancy in 2018; Mimi son of Gulkurguli in 2019; and she has a baby bump in 2020 (as of March 2020).
KiKi has a sister, CoCo, and two brothers Bobo and Yarra.
