The Eberswalde Zoo in Germany welcomed this adorable newborn marmoset on June 29, 2012. The miniscule monkey was one of three born in the litter and had trouble taking milk from its mother, according to the European Pressphoto Agency. So the zoo is now raising the little one by hand, and from the looks of it, those hands are a perfect fit. (Photo by Theo Heimann/AP)

August 2, 2012 photo provided by the Chicago Zoological Society, two tawny frogmouth chicks hatched on July 9 and 11 are seen at Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Ill. They are now a little over 3 weeks old and are being handreared by zookeepers because the parents abandoned the nest after only a few weeks of incubating the eggs. To give the chicks a chance at surviving, a decision was made to pull the eggs and put them in an incubator, located in an off exhibit area at the Zoo. (Photo by Jim Schulz/AP)

Orphaned kangaroo and wombat. When Anzac, an orphaned 5-month-old kangaroo, was found in the Macedon Ranges north of Melbourne, Australia, rescuers thought he looked a little lonely. Anzac's mother had been hit by a car. Thanks to the safety of her pouch, Anzac survived even though his mother did not. In order to comfort him, workers at the Wildlife Kilmore Rescue Center introduced him to Peggy, a 5-month-old baby wombat whose mother was also killed after being hit by a car. The two, who are both marsupials, shared a pouch together and have become inseparable. (Photo by Rob Leeson/Newspix via Rex USA)
