Your heart will melt at the sight of this orphaned baby koala

Meet Raymond the baby koala — orphaned by his koala family, he was rescued by his human namesake and nursed back to health. Found deserted by the side of a road in Brisbane, Australia, the orphaned koala was so small that vets didn't think he'd be able to survive — but after serious TLC from wildlife staff, he's making a comeback. "He had to be coaxed to feed; he was frail and his future was uncertain," one said. "Suddenly, one day he decided life wasn't so bad, and he has been absolutely powering along ever since." Here's hoping Raymond keeps it up — and has a long, happy life of doing koala stuff ahead of him. [Source]
