 A 9-month-old Koala in Australia is being nursed back to health after his mother was hit by a car leaving him an orphan.

The Koala named ‘Shayne’ cuddles up a fluffy toy that calms him when he misses his mother. Rescuers found Shayne 20 meters away from where his mum was killed. The hospital has an average of 70 to 80 koalas coming through every month.

The period from August to February is known as 'koala trauma season,' as the little animals are more active due to the warmer weather and sustain more injuries in accidents.
