00:00Meet Mr. Bean, an orphaned Rufus Batong Joey.
00:04The adorable marsupials are ancient relatives of the kangaroo.
00:09Mr. Bean was thrown from his mother's pouch in the Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary
00:13while he was entirely reliant on his mother for survival.
00:17Wildlife ranger Riley Tiderman became the orphaned Joey's surrogate mother.
00:23Riley replicated the mother's pouch with a cloth pouch to comfort and carry the tiny orphan
00:28and gave it specialised macropod milk.
00:32The pair are now inseparable.
00:35Mr. Bean enjoys nibbling Riley's hair and snoozing in his cat bed.
00:40Looking very comfy in there, mister.
