Clancey is still in care and will be there for another 12 months. He's one of the animals up for sponsorship.

A wallaroo, red kangaroo, eastern greay kangaroo and another wallaroo.

These fellows are still in care, but are nearly fully grown now.

square wombat poo

hiya, these photos are just toooo cute. I've stumbled across you, as you do in LJ via someone who needed some animal advice, and I gotta say, you deserve a medal. These lucky animals.

also, maybe you can confirm something I was told yesterday at Steve Irwan's animal park - that wombats have square poo??!!?? I made a point of finding some while there, and I can kind of see the squareness, as in it doesn't taper, but all I can think about, is the poor wombat bottom!!! Maybe Mr Claws can tell us the whole story. :) :) :)
ps: hope you don't mind if I add you to my friends list?

They are little fibrous cubes with rounded corners. It's a dry environment thing. I should mention that I didn't raise any of these. I only do bats and echidnas.

If this job doesn't pan out I'll be sending my resume to Australia Zoo. "IT everything with own car and rabies shots"
