Meet Kalari & Mavis
Meet Kalari & Mavis

Kalari has always been curious when it comes to exploring life. Mischievous by nature and ready to test the boundaries, she often keeps the Paradise Country Keepers on their toes. As a first time mum to Mavis, Kalari’s boisterous nature has managed to mellow just a fraction, ensuring that her joey is well protected, safe and sound. Mavis is a shy and sweet little joey who’s sure to develop some of her mother’s most prominent traits as she matures. Known for her bossy tactics, Kalari won’t be denied when it comes to securing her favourite sleeping spot, so taking full advantage of being a mum has come quite naturally to her. Legs kicked-out and fast asleep, Kalari’s unique napping style is a sure sign to Mavis that the best spot on offer is wherever they are.
