New Species: Joey Rex (Jr.)
Posted in Evolution, Just For Fun, Nature, Stereotypes on April 3rd, 2008 by JoyOkay, you defenders of the non-telic dog-eat-dog Malthusian evolutionary world! Here's a great, heart-warming story from the UK's Daily Mail…
Pointer is Baby Kangaroo's Hero
in Torquay, Victoria, Australia a 10 year old German Shorthaired Pointer/Wirehaired Pointer mix, named Rex made quite a discovery while on a walk with his owner Leonie Allan. Early in the morning Rex and Leonie headed out on their usual walk and discovered that a female kangaroo had been struck and killed by a car. Later on in the afternoon Rex returned to the body and gently retrieved what no one knew was there - a 4 month old joey! Rex carried the baby by the neck in such a nurturing way that the little guy was unharmed.

"The joey was snuggling up to him, jumping up to him and Rex was sniffing and licking him - it was quite cute", said Allan.
