An orphaned baby wallaby is being hand-reared in a rucksack and even travels strapped into his carer's car seat.

The tiny four-month-old wallaby, named Riley, is being nurtured by wildlife carer Julia Stewart after his mum died of pneumonia.

Filmed on June 16, she carries him in the furry rucksack strapped to her chest from 6.30am to 10.30pm every day and then he sleeps on her bed.

Riley is allowed out of the pouch for an hour and a half a day to hop around with other wallabies at Studley Grange Butterfly World and Farm Park near Swindon, Wiltshire.
