Most Recent Addition - "Captain Phillip" Red Necked Wallaby

This is Phillip - our latest addition, however temporary. He's a Red necked wallaby whos mother was hit by a car close by to me. I am on property that Phillip can simply disapear into when I think he is ready. A few months now. Did you know macropods (which are wallabies, wallaroos and kangaroos) can make 2 sorts of milk at the same time. So if Phils' mum was still alive she'd be feeding him while he was what we'd call "at foot" (out of the pouch keeping up) and feeding a brand new (jelly bean size) joey in the pouch from a differnt mammary gland!!!! Too much info - sorry...
