After four to five months of growth and nurturing by mom, keepers are able to safely perform the first \u201cpull\u201d, removing the baby from mom\u2019s pouch for a full inspection and medical review. The joey is then returned to mom\u2019s pouch.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>An inspection late last week revealed the very rare leucistic male joey, born to parents Rosie and Boomer. Today, the park announced that the baby kangaroo has been named Cosmo.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_83323\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83323\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo3.jpg\" alt=\"Animal Adventure Park celebrates birth of extremely rare white kangaroo\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo3.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo3-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-83323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured is Animal Adventure Park Owner Jordan Patch with the new joey, now named Cosmo.

This particular joey has a white coat and black color pigmentation in the eyes, prompting the park\u2019s animal care experts to consider this animal leucistic, rather than albino. The genetic combination between Rosie and Boomer is what yielded this surprising coloration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Animal Adventure is an interactive, educational animal park, home to over 100 species, located in the hills of Harpursville, N.Y., located 15 minutes outside of Binghamton, N.Y. The park is looking forward to its ninth season, with a tentative re-opening date of April 28, 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animal Adventure Park is closed for the season, but the excitement is alive and well at the interactive, outdoor animal park, which is celebrating the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":83322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Animal Adventure Park celebrates birth of extremely rare white kangaroo - Owego Pennysaver Press<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Animal Adventure Park celebrates birth of extremely rare white kangaroo - Owego Pennysaver Press\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Animal Adventure Park is closed for the season, but the excitement is alive and well at the interactive, outdoor animal park, which is celebrating the...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Owego Pennysaver Press\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/The-Owego-Pennysaver-49179420591\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-02-05T12:34:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-02-11T13:16:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"398\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"409\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"psadvert\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"psadvert\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/\",\"name\":\"Animal Adventure Park celebrates birth of extremely rare white kangaroo - Owego Pennysaver Press\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo2.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-02-05T12:34:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-02-11T13:16:02+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/#\/schema\/person\/e03684194434956dfb61f5ffcbc19492\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/www.owegopennysaver.com\/PS\/2021\/02\/05\/animal-adventure-park-celebrates-birth-of-extremely-rare-white-kangaroo\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo2.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2021\/02\/Kangaroo2.jpg\",\"width\":398,\"height\":409,\"caption\":\"Pictured is the new joey, now named Cosmo, and his dad, Boomer.
