While it’s not unusual for residents in Queensland, Australia to spot kangaroos near their homes, the locals were sure surprised to find one hopping about on the roof of a house! Children playing in the Mount Isa area spotted the kangaroo first, atop a home on Duchess Road. Although the animal escaped, it remains a mystery as to how it got there in the first place. It is understood that the rescuers had to carefully approach the kangaroo to ensure the animal didn’t fall down in fear and injure itself. “It was hot yesterday so we were concerned he was dehydrated and if he got scared and jumped down he might break a leg,” Paula Boon and Sue Carson, who run a local animal rescue service Paws Hoofs and Claws, told news.com.au.
