George the kangaroo

While in Australia responding to the bushfires, we also met George! Our friends at Wildlife in Need of Care Inc (WNC) took in rescued kangaroo joeys left orphaned by the bushfires. George was one of the joeys receiving specialized care.  His mother was hit by a car and he was found in her pouch. As a pinky (a very young joey), he was kept in a heated pouch, but after growing his own fur, he was moved to a cloth pouch, and the team plans to release him back to the wild once he is rehabilitated.
