SAN DIEGO, CA – JANUARY 22: The Koala Waminda snuggles up to her mother Gidgee on exhibit at the San Diego Zoo January 22, 2003 in San Diego, California . Waminda was about the size of a peanut when she was born last spring and remained well hidden in Gidgee’s pouch. After many months of developing, Waminda finally emerged to Zoo visitors’ delight. Waminda is an aboriginal word and means “friend.” (Photo by Zoological Society of San Diego/Getty Images)
