Cute Orphaned Baby Wallaroo Nurtured by Zookeepers at Oakland Zoo

Description

Footage provided courtesy of the Oakland Zoo shows an orphan baby wallaroo being cared for by zookeepers after the joey's mother died due to an infection at the beginning of March. Oakland zookeepers bottle-fed the joey with a special high-grade baby formula, while the baby wallaroo lay comfortably on the lap of the caregiver. The baby wallaroo is a male, approximately five months old and has no name as of yet. Wallaroos belong to the macropod family, and are a medium-sized marsupial between kangaroos and wallabies, hence the name wallaroo.

  • Musya the Cat Feeds 8 Orphaned Baby Hedgehogs

    These eight baby hedgehogs lost their mother in a lawnmower accident and the newly born hoglets were in desperate need of milk and affection. Luckily, after searching around at Sadgorod Zoo in the Russian city of Vladivostok, the hoglets found an unlikely wet-nurse in Musya the cat, who still had milk from feeding foster kittens. Prior to their adoption, the baby hedgehogs refused to be fed from a bottle or syringe and still blind, and were beginning to starve. The zoo was left with little choice but to try putting the mammals together with a new mother.
