My mum (a wildlife-carer) sent me this. Showing the value of a good hug, especially for an orphaned wallaby. #wildoz pic.twitter.com/WuSeDrZ16s— Tim Beshara (@Tim_Beshara) August 4, 2015

According to Beshara, the bear is an ideal playmate for the little marsupial.

Apparently a teddy on a string makes for a good companion for an orphaned wallaby. Who would have thought.— Tim Beshara (@Tim_Beshara) August 4, 2015
