Baby Possum Rescued Thanks To Pouch Check After Mum Dies In Road Strike

This adorable baby possum is the latest arrival at the Australian Reptile Park. The brushtail possum was found by the side of a road after his mum had been hit and killed by a car. Thankfully, a passer-by checked the mother's pouch and discovered the baby possum and took him to keepers at the park. The baby possum has now been named ‘DOBBY’, due to him gazing at keepers with his large, scared eyes. For now, Dobby will remain in the care of Australian Reptile Park staff until he is strong enough to be released back to the wild.
