The Columbus Zoo, or at least part of it, came to Ada Tuesday for a joint meeting of the Ada Rotary and Kiwanis service clubs at The Inn.

Fifty club members, their spouses, and children saw four cute, cuddle critters up close and personal.

Here, a one-year-old joey is petted, feeling surprisingly soft considering kangaroos have have one of the toughest hides. He's in a pouch (albeit a manmade one) because baby kangaroos feel more comfortable in a pouch since that's where they begin life.
