Australia is a huge country and its wildlife has a reputation around the world. Mainly, outsiders know Australia as a country where the wildlife is pretty deadly.

I mean, how many times have we seen TikTok videos of people in Australia finding poisonous snakes or terrifyingly large insects in their homes?

But besides having a lot of deadly species of wildlife, Australia is synonymous with kangaroos. Even if you don’t know anything else about Australia, you probably know that the land down under is famous for its kangaroos.

If you were to go online, there are plenty of videos featuring kangaroos. But some of them are actually rescues of kangaroos, like the video that was taken by two friends on their drive home. The pair had spotted a kangaroo on the side of the road, hanging off a fence. The poor animal looked dead.

The friends got out of their car in order to investigate, and upon a closer inspection, they realized that the kangaroo was still alive!

However, he was clearly weak, with the pair having no idea how long he’d actually been stuck in the wire fencing. Still, the friends worked quickly to get him free, knowing that time was of the essence.

As one of the friends said of the rescue video, “He must’ve been stuck there for some time. He was pretty distressed and thirsty. We left still pretty dazed…hoping he recovers.”

They carefully freed the kangaroo, and once free, the rescuers offered the animal some water. It was clear that the kangaroo was quite thirsty and happily accepted the refreshing drink. Once their good deed was done, they wished the kangaroo well as they allowed it to go on its way.

Watch the rescue in the TikTok video below:

@tab_ventures Driving home from Eyre Peninsula, i turned around to see what happened to a dead Kangaroo I saw hanging off a fence. We didn’t realise until we got closer that he was still alive.. he must’ve been stuck there for some time. He was pretty distressed and thirsty. We left still pretty dazed.. hoping he recovers 🤞❤️‍🩹 #kangaroo #animalrescue #kangaroocare ♬ original sound – Tabventures
