Royal Children Name Baby Kangaroo 'Cwtch' at Australia Zoo

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have chosen a Welsh name for a new baby kangaroo at Australia Zoo. The joey, an eastern grey kangaroo, has been named 'Cwtch', which means 'cuddle' in Welsh.

Conservationist Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin, announced the name on social media. He said the Wales family helped name the joey, calling 'Cwtch' the 'absolute perfect name' for the animal, which loves to cuddle at this age.

Irwin, who manages Australia Zoo and is an ambassador for Prince William's Earthshot Prize, thanked the royal children for their help in finding a brilliant name. He encouraged visitors to look out for Cwtch on their next visit to the zoo.
