A farmer rearing a newborn wallaby after his mum passed away keeps him in a pouch on her body and takes him everywhere she goes - including a baby shower.
Lauren Owen, 36, says she is now a 'proud mum'-of-two - to five-month-old wallaby, Roo, alongside her 11-year-old human daughter, Phoebe.
Roo joined Lauren, her partner, Mark Navin, 44, and their little girl in the family home in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, at Monk Park Farm, on February 5 after his mum, Juliet, had to be put down after becoming infected with toxoplasmosis.
The couple manage and live on site at the petting farm - where they have alpacas, sheep, pigs, ponies, and more.
