An “ark” refuge is being created by the National Trust to help save one of the UK’s most endangered native species from extinction. (Photo by Annapurna Mellor/National Trust Images)

Jon Ovens, lead keeper at Longleat weighs the baby koala on March 29, 2022. A baby koala embraces a cuddly toy that is being used as a substitute mother marsupial so she can be weighed. The seven-month-old joey has to be taken off her mother so staff at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire can carry out the routine health check. To make the procedure as stress free as possible, they plonk a soft toy koala from the gift shop into the weighing basket with the baby to imitate her mum. The keepers then weigh the soft toy separately and subtract that amount from the overall reading to get the joey's accurate weight. (Photo by ZacharyCulpin/Bournemouth News)
