Cute Orphaned Baby Wallaroo Nurtured by Zookeepers at Oakland Zoo

Footage provided courtesy of the Oakland Zoo shows an orphan baby wallaroo being cared for by zookeepers after the joey's mother died due to an infection at the beginning of March. Oakland zookeepers bottle-fed the joey with a special high-grade baby formula, while the baby wallaroo lay comfortably on the lap of the caregiver. The baby wallaroo is a male, approximately five months old and has no name as of yet. Wallaroos belong to the macropod family, and are a medium-sized marsupial between kangaroos and wallabies, hence the name wallaroo.
