A baby koala has surprised its keepers in Australia by peeping out from its mother's pouch with piercing blue eyes.They think that nine-month-old Frankie could be one of a kind, since koalas almost always have brown eyes.
Keepers at the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast immediately named it after Frank Sinatra - known, of course, as Ol' Blue Eyes.
The Australian Koala Foundation said Frankie was the first blue-eyed koala it has been aware of in its 20-year history.
Michelle Barnes, a supervisor at the Dreamworld park, said: "They spend their first few months in the pouch so it wasn't until he was five or six months old that we first noticed he had blue eyes."
