The unlikely but adorable friendship of orphans kangaroo Anzac and wombat Peggy
Anzac and Peggy.
Everyone's gushing over the cutest little animal friendship ever…pouched?
That's right: a pouch is where baby wombat Peggy met fellow orphan Anzac at an Australian animal rescue center, reported Yahoo!News.
Anzac, a five-month-old joey, was found abandoned in the Macedon Ranges and brought to Wildlife Kilmore Rescue Centre in Victoria, Australia.
But the "very social" Anzac was lonely — in the Biblical sense? a bit young, no? — so caretakers had him share a cozy little pouch with similarly "boisterous and cheeky" wombat Peggy, according to Britain's Daily Mail.
Result? "World Melts," pronounced The Huffington Post (adding emphatically: "PICTURES").
Luckily, both are herbivores, the Daily Mail pointed out, so their their friendship won't be threatened by more, um, elemental urges.
