Need a break from world news? Follow Wilbur the wombat, a foundling at an Australian #zoo, as he explores his new home.
Adorable baby wombat Wilbur now lives at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby north of the port metropolis of Sydney in the south of the Australian continent. His mother was hit and killed by a car, and passers-by rescued Wilbur from her pouch.
Wombats are marsupials that live exclusively in #Australia. They use their sharp claws to dig tunnel systems and burrows, which they leave at dusk to forage. A small wombat, called a joey, stays in its mother's pouch for about six months. For Wilbur, the pouch is now made of wool. Keeper Seleena De Gelder cares for him around the clock.
There is a lot for #Wilbur to discover at the zoo. The first few days are critical for orphaned wild animals if they are injured or malnourished. "We watched him closely, and he made it through like a champ," reported his keeper, De Gelder. If he stays healthy, the #wombat will be released back into the wild after 12 months. Enjoy your stay, Wilbur!

Joey to the world!
Conservationists at a 🇬🇧 #zoo have captured the moment a rare tree #kangaroo popped out of mom's pouch for the first time, part of research to help the endangered species, native to Papua New Guinea rainforests, survive in the wild.

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.
