Description
Not sure how many of you know, but I'm a wildlife volunteer in Australia - a very time consuming, very expensive passion with outweighingly great rewards.Fizz is a 950g Swamp Wallaby Joey, who came into my care just a few days ago after his mother was hit by a car. We get dozens of these little guys every year, it's seriously tough for them in a world full of roads, vehicles and people. But when orphaned we give them a second chance by raising them for release on private properties. This guy is currently fed around the clock (no sleep for me), but doing really well - touch wood!
I just thought it was about time I shared one of my little sweeties with you! With any luck he will have a friend of the same species soon, to help him establish natural social skills and have somebody to help him along the tough road ahead!

Hullo Fizz Such a cutie.
This a great photography. The focus is great, the little critter is adorable and the colors are very... Australia. Call it a hunch, but I think I know where this was taken
Well-done! You can check out my page, too, if want. Always looking for like-minded people. Anyways, have a great day.

ahh, that's so awesome!
I'm actually traveling to South Africa next year to volunteer with a similar wildlife program!
(only for a month, but eventually this is what I want to do for a living!)

That's sad and cool at the same time! I'd love to volunteer at a place like that?
