Nestled into a cup, with his tiny paws clasping the edge, this happy koala contentedly suckles on a tiny bottle.

But just a month ago the future did not look so positive for Raymond - he was found weak and abandoned on a roadside in Brisbane.

It is believed his mother had either been hit by a car or was too ill to care for the 2/3-month-old.

Named after the man who took him to safety, Raymond was dehydrated and skinny, weighing in at just 260g.

Initially, carers feared that the tiny animal wouldn't survive because he weighed so little and wouldn't feed properly.

Julie Zyzniewski, who is looking after Raymond said: 'He had to be coaxed to feed. He was frail and his future was uncertain.

Luxury life: Raymond spends his days sitting at Julie's desk, where she is able to feed him his diet of special bottle formula every three hours

Now, Raymond spends his days sitting at Julie's desk, where she is able to feed him his diet of special bottle formula every three hours.

He is a welcome addition to the workplace and Julie's boss Paulette Jones has a soft spot for wildlife and has embraced having the happy koala recuperate in the office.

When little baby koalas grow up, they have a mating call - that if you don't identify (that it's a koala) - it sounds like a growling horrible gurgling noise - that literally scares the crap out of people. When the early settlers came to Australia and had koalas outside of their dwellings making these noises - they were scared to death.

But it's only a harmless little koala.
