Woman Rescues Baby Kangaroo From Dead Mother's Pouch

It’s never easy to watch an animal pass away. It’s especially difficult when we see animals on the side of the road that have become the victim of a car accident. We have all seen this before and it’s an extremely sad situation.


So, when 32-year-old Lauren Wagner and her friend, Sarah Wragge, spotted a deceased kangaroo on the roadside, they decided to U-turn and pull over. When they got closer to the animal, they noticed that the belly was still moving. So, Lauren got out of the car and went over to the kangaroo. That’s when she saw two legs sticking out of the mother’s pouch.

The little joey had survived the accident, even though his mother had passed on. Lauren knew she needed to act fast so she used both hands to pull the poor baby out. Lauren and Sarah wrapped the joey in a blanket and he was taken right to fauna rescue expert Sibylle Kaufmann.

It was such a bittersweet moment for this pair to rescue the baby knowing that the mother had passed on. But I’m so glad that these young women took a moment to stop and help an innocent animal when many people would have continued to drive on. Because of their quick actions, this joey is going to survive.

It’s truly an amazing moment and every second of this rescue was caught on camera. Now, people are commending Lauren and Sarah for their heroic actions and I’m doing the same. Thank you ladies!
