The 2 cubs are healthy and the intial dehydration and malnutrition signs are all gone after a few days at the care of the staff of the wild life services in Baluchestan province of the country.

Donkey nanny, Lombardy, Italy.

In the early spring shepherds drive huge flocks of livestock, here sheep, mules, donkeys, and goats from the Pre-Alpine hills to the plains of #Lombardy, for grazing. The newborn lambs are carried in a custom made side saddle by the donkeys, and returned to their mothers at rest time.

Chester Zoo: Rare tree kangaroo emerges from mum's pouch

Animal conservationists have described the moment a rare tree #kangaroo was seen emerging from its mother's pouch as "celebratory".

The joey, the first of the endangered species to be born at Chester #Zoo, arrived in July and has since been developing in the pouch.

Unlike its famous Australian counterpart, the shy Goodfellow's species live in trees, the zoo said.

Zookeepers now had a "unique position" to record its development.
