The devastating floodwater is not scaring human beings as well as Australian Animals, Such an incident took place when a Kangaroo Jumped into floodwater near One Mile bridge, there was no rescue team there but a Kind hearted dude saw the kangaroo jumping into the water, the man risked everything to save the life of a kangaroo.

A photographer present at the site took the above photo and he also inquired the name of Volunteer who found out was Mr De Villiers . He said that he couldn't see the poor animal fighting for life in water so he raced across the water, about five metres away from shore despite police protests to grab the kangaroo and carry it to safety.

While the man disappeared shortly after, the kangaroo was well cared for. "It seemed a bit shocked," Mr De Villiers said. "But when we left a group of people were around it and someone had a towel out to keep it warm.

Nice story Rashid, Thanks for sharing. But I noticed plenty of typos and spelling errors in your post (e.g; "Jumped intpo floodwater...", the kangroo jumipng..."Kind herted... ", etc. . These errors should not be on that person's post whose post is featured at the home page of all voice.

No harsh words, just a kind suggestion.

Cheers!
