Kangaroo Is Rescued From A Trench Where A PVC Irrigation Pipe Was Being Installed

Occurred on July 31, 2017 / Goondiwindi, Queensland, Australia

Info from Licensor: "We were installing PVC irrigation pipe 1.6km long. We arrived the next morning to find a kangaroo had fallen into the trench."

Irrigation pipes are very useful when it comes to needing a sprinkler system, but they aren't so useful when it comes to being a home for a kangaroo! It looks like the kangaroo missed the big hole, and fell right into the trench. It was stuck and had no way of getting out. When the people who were installing the pipe came back, they noticed something unusual. Why was there a kangaroo in there? Immediately, they tried to help the poor thing out of the ditch. It must have gotten stuck during the night, when it was dark out.

It takes a lot of strength to get the kangaroo out of the trench, it was completely stuck, barely even able to move its body. With a few more tugs, the kangaroo is finally able to be set free. Thank goodness the kangaroo was okay. It could have been a lot more hurt. The kangaroo takes a moment to adjust its footing and gives the people a good look. It is saying thank you in its own way. After a few seconds, it quickly scurries away. It must be so happy it can finally run around again!
