Wallaby rescue
Budapest Zoo rescued wallaby joey "Frodo", who fell out of its mother's pouch. Frodo, a male Tammar wallaby, weighed just 370 grams (13 ounces) when zookeepers noticed March 13 that it was out of its mother's pouch. Efforts to reunite mother and joey were unsuccessful, so Frodo is nursed and fed by the zoo staffers.
