It’s time for another uplifting visit to the Department of Unexpected Interspecies Friendship. Actually, this time it’s a revisit of sorts:

About a month ago we introduced you to a pair of baby marsupials, a joey and a wombat named Anzac and Peggy, orphans who had became fast friends while in the care of the kinds folks at the Wild about Wildlife Kilmore Rescue Centre in Victoria, Australia. It’s clear from the top photo that Anzac not only enjoys Peggy’s company, but also finds her ear to be rather tasty.

We’re delighted to report Anzac and Peggy are both doing well and have since taken in a third little friend - Cupcake the Swamp Wallaby. All three of these cute little creatures were orphaned when motor vehicle accidents killed their mothers, but they now have each other and, of course, the gentle caretakers at the Wild About Wildlife Rescue Center. The center estimates that Anzac and Peggy were between 3-4 months old when they arrived, while Cupcake is thought to be about 5 months old. All three are fed a low lactose milk formula and keep each other cozy and warm.

As you can tell from these images, the trio gets along splendidly, and Cupcake the Wallaby is particularly active these days. “When you are looking for her, you don’t bother looking on the floor, you look up to see what piece of furniture she is about to launch herself from,” reports Wild About Wildlife founder Alistair Brown. The rescue center’s intention is to release them to the wild when they are old enough.
