After unveiling a plaque at Taronga Zoo’s bilby enclosure named after their son Prince George, William and Catherine were treated to a tour of the zoo.

Catherine couldn’t keep the smile off her face as she was introduced to different native animals.

She instantly grew fond of a Koala named Leuca and spent time patting him and laughing as her husband watched on. She eventually moved on reluctantly, but continued to look back and say goodbye.

The couple were then introduced to a number of other native animals and Catherine couldn’t contain her excitement at seeing an echidna.
