What an Oz-some name: new arrival to be named Holly Wallaby!

Visitors to the Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife & Falconry Centre in North Anston were invited to nominate a name for the baby Parma wallaby born at the centre’s Wilderness Walk-though.

Hundreds of names were suggested, but judges picked the suggestion of Claire Pulham, whose inspiration clearly came from This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby. 

Claire, who voted via Facebook not only gets the honour of naming the baby wallaby, but also wins a family day ticket to the wildlife centre and a wallaby teddy.

Holly, who has yet to be sexed, was having fun exploring the walkthrough this week, oblivious to his or her famous namesake.

Centre manager Andrew Reeve said: “It’s great to see so many of our visitors getting involved on our social media pages. 

“The Tropical Butterfly House is a family run wildlife centre, and we consider our visitors to be a part of that family.”
