Michele Mauldin, 57, feeds Sydney, an 8 1/2-month-old kangaroo with a milk bottle Sunday, Jan. 4, 2009, at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, N.M. She said she acquired the kangaroo after its mother, who used to live at the zoo in Alamogordo, N.M., died and was asked if she could raise it until it becomes healthy enough to live in the zoo in Dallas.
