Welcome back to the “OH, LUCKY KANGAROO!” news series. -smiles-

Remember the kangaroo that survived with an arrow through its head, and the one that got rescued by a kindhearted surfer when it was happily bounding off into the sea? Well here’s another piece of lucky kangaroo news for all you kangaroo fans out there!

(taken from Straits Times Article here)

JAKARTA – INDONESIAN police arrested a man accused of smuggling 10 rare kangaroos by boat from New Guinea island, an official said on Saturday.

The Indonesian suspect was caught on Friday as he offloaded the exotic marsupials at the East Java provincial capital of Surabaya, said Police Major Widarmanto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. Five of kangaroos had died. (omg one minute of silence for the heroes please T_T)

The five surviving kangaroos - of a small, rain forest-dwelling variety – were given to a Surabaya animal sanctuary, Major Widarmanto said.

Illegal trade in rare and exotic animals (wah kenler exotic animal eh) is rampant in Indonesia (benny here’s your chance to help kenler and his family!!), where law enforcement is generally poor.

The suspect, who has not been named, faces up to five years in jail and a 100 million rupiah (S$15,300) fine for violating Indonesian conservation laws.

Kangaroos are native only to Australia and New Guinea, which is divided into Indonesia’s easternmost province of Papua and the country of Papua New Guinea. — AP

Remember that old kangaroo with an arrow through its head? Well, an Australian man is now a media sensation after rescuing the panicked animal, also a k.a.n.g.a.r.o.o. (:O :O :O :O :O !!).

updated 11:39 a.m. ET May 15, 2009, taken from msnbc.

An Australian man has plucked a drowning kangaroo from the Queensland surf, as the panicked animal fought against a rip pulling it out to sea.

The extraordinary tale has turned business speaker Neil McCallum into a media sensation following the 6 a.m. rescue on the Gold Coast’s Kirra Beach.

The 48-year-old was returning from a early morning run with his 15-year-old son Jazz on Tuesday when a young kangaroo bounded across their path and straight into the water. (OMG HAHAHAHA this line is damn funny! kenler ask your cousin to be more careful next time! :/  tell him he can come to the hwachong pool if he wants to swim so badly.. at least here no sharks  )

McCallum said he was immediately concerned for the kangaroo, given recent shark activity (!!!) in the area.

The part-time surfer ran home and grabbed his longboard, sparing only enough time to tell his wife what was happening before heading back to the beach and plunging into the surf.

His wife Amanda, still dressed in her pajamas, came along and captured the entire rescue on camera.

He eventually herded the frightened animal back to the shore, where it bounded off.

McCallum said he had never before seen a kangaroo around Kirra, a built-up suburb about 12 miles south of Surfers Paradise, although reports of swimming kangaroos elsewhere are not unusual.

MELBOURNE – AUSTRALIAN wildlife officers say a kangaroo survived for up to a week after being shot through the head with an arrow and is expected to make a full recovery.
Wildlife Australia has posted a A$10,000 (S$11,000) reward to find the people responsible for shooting the kangaroo, which was found in parkland near Melbourne’s outer suburbs last Thursday.

Veterinary surgeons from Melbourne Zoo operated on the stricken marsupial over the weekend and were optimistic about his chances.

‘This was a big injury, but because the arrow didn’t seem to have been in there for a long time, and the injury was fresh, hopefully he’ll be okay,’ Melbourne Zoo vet Michael Lynch told reporters.

‘I’m cautiously optimistic about the kangaroo’s prospects for a full recovery.’

Wildlife Victoria spokesman Fiona Corke said the kangaroo was rescued just days after another kangaroo was found with an arrow in its rump in the same location.

She said her organisation wanted to catch those responsible.

‘It’s just unbelievable, I just can’t believe that anybody would do something so cruel. It must be a very cold-hearted person to do that,’ she told national news agency AAP.

Ms Corke said the kangaroo was believed to have survived for up to a week before it was discovered and taken to an animal hospital. — AFP
