Baobao, a seventh-generation koala at a safari park in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, met the public with members of her clan on Friday — the annual Save the Koala Day.

Born on June 16 last year, Baobao left her mother's pouch recently. She now weighs about 4 kilograms.

Six koalas were sent to the safari park in Guangzhou in 2006, a number that has grown to 60. It's the largest koala population outside of Oceania.

The park has been running a marsupial research center since 2019.
