Meet beautiful Sayza 👋 Rescuer Kate explains: ‘Sayza was found entwined in barbed wire. It was a cold and tough rescue, with rain, wind and tools limited to a pair of scissors! Once rescued, I took her to Kippax vets who did a wonderful job.’ Sayza is now with carer Corin 💚

Happy #WombatWednesday 🥳 Meet pinky Evie! She has no fur and lives in a hotbox heated to 32 degrees to simulate being in mum's pouch. Behind her is Sherman, furring up nicely, around 2.5 kilos. He has more body-heat regulation skills. Both are cared for by Cheryle and Jeff 🥰

It's #possum time! Check out this #brushtail sneaking quietly along the balcony. Did you know? A female possum is called a 'jill', a male possum is called a 'jack', and a young possum is called a 'joey' 🐾

Oooh big stretttchhhh! This certified long boi is Dozer the bare-nosed wombat, who was released by @ACT_Wildlife last June. With trail and WiFi cams looking at his release site, they still occasionally see him wandering about, looking healthy. #WombatWednesday ❤
