We once had a cat that mothered baby possums (orphaned by our St. Bernard) for a few days. She had just weaned kittens, and apparently was still lactating. She went around with the baby possums swinging from her belly. After a while they dropped off one by one and disappeared into the fern and palmetto. (It was in Tampa, Florida)

I’ve immediately mail-bombed almost my entire mailing list with this. Thanks, Tessa!
What a lovely and fascinating video (especially w/the baby baboon!) thanks for sharing it. Hugs!
