Astronaut Reveals His 1969 Customs Form: Places Visited - "Moon"
46 years after men first walked on the moon, we are reminded that while rocket fuel powered the Apollo 11 spacecraft, governments still run on paperwork.
After they leave the nest, parents always hope their kids will come back and visit. Even when that kid is a kangaroo.
Australian mom and wildlife rehabilitator Gillian Abbot rescued this baby roo when it was two months old and raised the orphan, giving it a teddy bear to cuddle with.
Now almost fully grown, Doodlebug, as he was named, is making another life transition, what animal-rescue folks call a "soft return" to the wild.
He comes and goes as he pleases now, and every time the eastern gray kangaroo returns to his homestead, he empties the food bowl and hugs his teddy– just like old times.
The family shared a photo of the young marsupial holding tight to the teddy bear, which has been thoughtfully tied up to dangle at a huggable height.
Abbot is a licensed ‘wildlife carer' in New South Wales and a member of the rescue organization WIRES.
