Meet Benedict Cumberbat. The first admission of the year to RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset, #UK, came in the form of a brown long-eared bat. He was found in a bird box and had no injuries but was cold and low on weight. Benedict will be nursed back to health for a few days before being released into the wild.

Snoopy the echidna gets ready to enter a ball pit at Healesville sanctuary in Victoria, #Australia. Snoopy has marked 40 years at the sanctuary since being rescued in 1985, when she was deemed unsuitable to return to the wild as a youngster. The hardy echidna has been living out her days in the simulated bushland haven, and also enjoying an enrichment ball pit.
