It's a marsupial of some type because it has a pouch

How an Aussie babe-in-a-pouch survived the accident that killed her mum


SYDNEY (AFP) - Bald, pink and bright eyed, Cherry the baby wombat is enjoying a second chance at life outside her more usual environment -- her mother's pouch.


She owes her continued existence to the motorist who spotted Cherry's mother dead on the road -- a victim of a passing car -- and stuck his hand in its pouch to discover the then three-month-old 220 gram (half pound) orphan still very much alive.


The little wombat was taken to Sydney's Taronga Zoo where she has acquired a foster mother, zoo keeper Lana Langdale, who will care for Cherry until she is old enough to be reintroduced into the wild in about six months' time.


"She was probably still attached to the teat when she was found," said Langdale. "But she has doubled in size since she arrived here a month ago."
