Raising an Abandoned Infant Wallaby is Not For the Lazy

When you hear about a mob of wallabies in a nearby park, you might assume that this all takes place in Australia, but no. Lindsay Clarity runs Animal School in East Sussex, UK! It is a shelter for all kinds of rescued animals and also an educational institution where children can learn about nature. One of the odder residents is Blossom, an albino wallaby who was abandoned by her mother at a very young age. She was found at Leonardslee Gardens, an estate that has exotic animals on the grounds that were introduced more than 100 years ago.  

Clarity took Blossom in and had to learn everything about how wallaby mothers normally raise their babies, which includes carrying them around in their pouches until they are 18 months old! Yes, she did that for a year, and now she has a lifetime companion in the little Australian creature. See more from the Animal School at YouTube.
