If you watched Cute with Chris episode 153, you may remember Oliver the Orphaned Baby Kangaroo. He's being raised by Raine in AUSTRALIA who writes: "...Just thought I'd send you these two pics for your 'up in yo face' archive (if you wish to use them). They were taken a few months ago, and Oliver is quite big now. We also now have 4 other baby kangaroos! They are ranging between 1 and 9 kg's. I have been meaning to send in photos of them for AGES. So hopefully I will do that soon."
FOUR more baby kangaroos? I guess that one just isn't enough!

Four more babies? Sounds like an addiction is starting! Oliver's working the camera like a pro with the head-tilt!

I'd just like to say that the 'roo has been freaking me out every time I checked back to see if the Special Announcement was up. He really is up in my face.

this reminds me of the time me and my friends rescued this tiny little wallaby that had been hit by a car. we thought he just had a broken leg, turns out his whole jaw/head was completely smashed and he was dead before the vet could help him. maybe he would have suffered less if the people who hit him had been thoughtful enough to reverse back over him rather than leaving him to slowly die in the cold.

What a sad wallaby story! Cheers for trying to help. At least Oliver didn't suffer the same fate. Glad we get to see an update!
