  • Crop added. It was orphaned by a car accident when it was still in the pouch and has been hand-reared. It's technically wild (now independant of people) but still visits the rescue centre garden on a daily basis for water. A lot of wild animals behave this way in summer in my area because a household will often have the only water for several kilometers. For a hand-reared animal it was remarkably timid, probably because I was a stranger. Benjamint 00:58, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. I find the crop definitely better. Thanks also for the background info. Do you happen to know than exactly how old is it? If yes, I think it would be valuable info to be added to the image summary. Weak support Alt - I still find it a bit too dark. Elekhh (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
