Baby wombat saved from dead mum's pouch in Australia

A baby wombat that was found in its dead mother's pouch by the roadside in Australia is receiving 24-hour care.

Jodie Bradshaw, who runs Free Hearts Animal Sanctuary, external in Tasmania state, stopped to check the dead female wombat by the side of the road.

She realised there was a live wombat joey inside.

A local wildlife expert named Norma Baker is now caring for the tiny wombat, keeping it inside her bra, to maintain its body temperature.
