An adventurous kangaroo hops again for a swim
The video has left people amused on social media. The 25-second clip was earlier shared on Reddit and later on Twitter. In the video, a young kangaroo takes a dip into Canberra’s Lake Burley-Griffin as two police officers on a jet ski try to rescue the animal. However, as soon as the officers rescue it and bring it to the edge of the lake, it hops back into the river.
According to reports, the incident of rescuing animals from such situations are quite rare but as soon as the residents of Canberra raised an alarm on the incident, the police were quick to act and soon went to rescue the kangaroo on a jet ski. The reports also reveal that after the police rescued the Kangaroo again, they handed it over to the rescue workers who relocated it to a bushland location.

Netizens react hilariously
The video went viral on the internet with netizens reacting hilariously, with many telling the police officers to let the kangaroo be in the water as they are “great swimmers”. Many users also explained how the police officers did a favour by bringing the animal safely out of the lake, as most of the artificial lakes do not have easy exit points. The police officers could be seen driving the Jet Ski back to get the now-paddling kangaroo, as the short clip reached its conclusion.
However, this is not the first time an adventurous kangaroo has caught the eyes of people. The previous year, a local football game was interrupted by a troop of kangaroo.
