Incredible photos, never seen that :D

The second looks like a crossover between a bat and a camel.

Best regards,

How did you get these away from the mother?

Very unusual shots...IMHO...nice and clear...

Thanks Andy. Not the prettiest when as young as the 2nd one, but cute in their own way.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure they were rescued. I assume they lost their mothers. Some carers brought them along to an exhibition and when I wandered up with my camera they asked whether I'd like to see their animals, including these two. Joeys like to snuggle into their mothers' pouches and these guys were no different. The younger one in particular didn't want to come out and the other one kept looking around everywhere except at my camera and then ducking back into its cloth pouch.

Another one. When the carer offered this little guy a flower, it decided to suck on it. I guess it's too young to be chewing food.

It does! Poor little thing! Nice captures, though. Thanks for sharing!

Another one I like from this series.

Do I have to wake up yet?
