Such a cute little Joey, glad you were able to save it, so sad to see so many dead roos on the side of the road.

Oh well done for checking for the Joey. I only hit a roo once and I had the kids with me and did not go back because they were already so upset. I feel guilty about it, but hope it did not have a baby on board.

OMG. So glad of the thoughtfulness of your your son. I understand that some people would concider kangaroos a nusaince just like deer in USA. But to be considerate enough to save this little creature is a wonderful thing in my eyes. To be a true humanitarian is to be thoughtful of all living things. Makes me proud!
peace

Sweet little Joey! Your son deserves accolades for having the presence of mind to go check the adult kangaroo after an accident. Glad to hear your son is okay and that the joey survived.

In the States, deer ARE a problem. We have two plastic gadgets that fit on the front grill of the vehicle. The air goes through them creating a sound not heard by humans, but it turns deer right around. They are called, "Whistlers." Wonder if there's anything that would help with kangaroos?

just amazing. I'm so glad he was able to save the joey. Accidents happen. We have lots of deer where I live and there are times you just can't avoid it. It's wonderful to see a life saved.

Awwww so cute!!! I didn't even know what it was at first, but I read the story about it and found out that it was a kangaroo. I am an animal lover and will never harm an animal! Glad you saved the little joey!!!!
