Prince George News Update: For the first time in Australia, Baby Prince George stepped out in public with his parents on Sunday for an encounter with wildlife at Sydney's Taronga Zoo, says Daily Mail.

The little heir who'll turn nine months tomorrow is getting his teeth. He showed three of them into his royal duties. The infant was keen to nibble anything he could get his little hands on during a visit to the zoo yesterday with his parents. According to Yahoo News, he excitedly wiggled out of his mother's arms as they neared the habitat to get a closer look to the animals.

The royal family were at the zoo to visit an enclosure for bilbies and meet one of the rabbit-eared native marsupials who was named in George's honour.

Dressed in a blue striped shirt, blue shorts and black shoes, Prince George cooed as Prince William fed his bilby namesake and stroked its head, craning over the top of the enclosure's glass wall.

Barced by his mother, George bobbed elatedly up and down and waved his arms as the inquisitive bilby, previously known as Boy, crouched up on its hind legs and peered over the edge at him.

He grinned and giggled for the cameras as his father bounced him in his arms and kissed him on the head, beaming as he was presented with a stuffed toy bilby which he promptly tossed to the ground, setting off ripples of laughter in the crowd.

George held fast to the ear of a silver bilby statuette as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge unveiled a plaque in his honour. The enclosure was paid for by the Australian government as a gift on behalf of the nation to celebrate George's birth, as stated in a report by AFP.

"He was amazing, just amazing, he was so good, he loved all the animals. They were like any family coming into the zoo for a family day out," Senior zookeeper Paul Davies said.

According to Davies, the young prince was captivated by the animals and attempted to grab anything within reach.

The zoo had to close its gates at 1.30pm due to the large crowds assembling to await the royals' arrival.

The young family leave Sydney on Sunday night for Canberra, where they will be taking a rest day before moving on to Uluru, an iconic monolithic desert rock sacred to Aboriginal Australians.
