00:00 An Australian zookeeper has been caring for an orphaned baby echidna in their bathroom.
00:06 The animal, also known as a puggle, was found alone in a forest at just over a month old,
00:12 an age requiring round-the-clock care.
00:14 The zookeeper has since been looking after it at home and says the bathroom provides
00:19 a nice cool temperature for the puggle.
00:22 She'll release it back into the wild once it's fully grown.
00:25 "She's a pretty good housemate.
00:27 She's fairly well behaved and I'm going to miss her when she's no longer with me."
