An orphaned koala, a 'Mugly' dog and a ticklish sloth are just three of the creatures that feature in our monthly animals gallery!

Squeaky the Koala may be cute, but his story is a heartbreaking one. He was found whimpering in his mother's pouch after she was hit by a car on an Australian highway, but a quick-thinking council worker was able to rush mother and son to a local koala hospital. 'He's a very quiet little fella, but he's doing OK,' hospital supervisor Cheyne Flanagan said. 'He just clings to a little sheepskin roll that mimics his mummy.'
