KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium announced Tuesday that a new joey has joined its ranks.
The zoo shared on social media that Mrs. Brigsby the red kangaroo gave birth to Roxby the joey.
"Roxby spends most of the time in mom’s pouch, but you’ll be able to spot a tail or leg peeking out occasionally," KC Zoo & Aquarium shared on social media.
Meet Mrs. Brisby’s joey, Roxby! She is the second of the new red kangaroos to make a big reveal. Roxby spends most of the time in mom’s pouch, but you’ll be able to spot a tail or leg peeking out occasionally. Thanks to @UMKC for sponsoring the kangaroo habitat!

Another red kangaroo at the zoo, Jeri, gave birth to a joey in November.
Jeri and Mrs. Brigsby were among four female kangaroos that arrived to the KC Zoo & Aquarium earlier this year from Florida.
