A baby kangaroo found himself alone in the middle of the desert, but a passing motorcyclist did not leave him in danger.
Like it, if you like it! And you’ll see more articles like this in the Pulse feed. This tiny baby kangaroo was found in the Australian desert. He would have died in the morning if a motorcyclist named Daniel had not passed him.
That day, the Australian Daniel, who was crossing the country, drove past a protected area, fenced with barbed wire. The motorcyclist was watching a group of kangaroos passing by when he suddenly noticed something unusual.
It turned out that a female had dropped a cub from her bag. Losing the baby, the mother kangaroo continued to run, without looking back or stopping. Daniel was shocked by what he saw and, without thinking twice, he scaled the thorny fence.
As he approached, he saw a tiny, completely naked baby, who hadn’t even learned to stand on his hind legs yet. The baby was probably born two or three days ago.
The little one was shaking in terror and trying to crawl away from the man. The man took the kangaroo in his arms and waited for his unintelligent mother to return.
He waited for almost an hour, but the female kangaroo did not return. During the wait, the baby had become accustomed to the warmth of the human and no longer tried to detach himself.
Daniel had no choice but to take Skippy, as he called the baby, to the nearest animal shelter. It was 80 kilometers away. He hid Skippy under his jacket and set off.
There he handed the kangaroo over to volunteers, who wrapped him in a warm blanket and fed him. Skippy quickly grew and became stronger. A year later, he was released into the wild.
