wildlife carer gives orphaned baby kangaroos teddy bears to play with

A wildlife carer in Australia is giving orphaned baby kangaroos teddy bears on strings to make them feel like they have a companion.

Gillian Abbott, who runs a business rescuing and nursing abandoned joeys, finds they respond to the bears "in the same way as a toddler" because it is "like a companion" to them.
A picture taken by Ms Abbott featuring an orphaned Eastern Grey Kangaroo named Doodlebug went viral on Twitter on Tuesday after it was tweeted by her son.
