The Five Freedoms Animal Rescue, while taking to Facebook, shared the clip of the ‘brilliant’ rescue on June 13. According to the post, the Kangaroo was spotted by two boys who were playing around the area.
Manfred Zabinskas reportedly took 90 minutes to rescue the animal. While speaking to an international media outlet, Zabinskas said that the team got him out okay, however, they couldn’t tell if the animal was injured. The rescue team in the social media post also informed that the animal did not appear to have been down in the ditch for long.
Zabinskas reportedly said that the kangaroo is currently recovering at wildlife shelter in Trentham. Furthermore, the caption of the post read, “Approx 7 metres down, he'd been clawing at the walls with no escape, but thankfully didn't appear to have been down there too long. He appears in good health and is back at the shelter for assessment, but hopefully can be released soon”.
