Priyanka captioned the post, “A 8 month old koala joey named after me!! So sweet.. thank you @paradisecountrygc for the lovely surprise and for introducing us to the most amazing wildlife. Meerkats, koalas, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils and Dingo’s! Thank you for all the work you’re doing for wildlife conservation in Australia as well.

Priyanka also shared a video of a meerkat standing on her head as she laughs and poses. She also pointed and laughed at the sight of a meerkat standing on her friend’s head. She also shared pictures and videos of a kangaroo, a Tasmanian devil, and with a dingo.
