Visitors can now see Brumby and Willum, 2-year-old koalas at Brookfield Zoo Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) — For the first time in Brookfield Zoo Chicago's 90-year history, guests can see koalas.
Starting Memorial Day weekend, people can see the 2-year-old koalas in the Hamill Family Play Zoo. Their names are Brumby and Willum.
The zoo will receive a rotation of several species of fresh eucalyptus leaves for the animals twice a week.
Koalas are one of few species that eat eucalyptus leaves since they are poisonous to most other animals.
