A selfless Australian man has saved a kangaroo from the crashing waves on a beach on the Gold Coast.
Local surfer and general extreme sports enthusiast Neil McCallum spotted an object out to sea that he had never seen before. It didn't seem to be making any progress and would occasionally be covered by a wave. As he shielded his eyes to get a better look he saw that it was in fact an infant kangaroo that had bizarrely found its way quite a distance out to sea. Neil thought quickly and grabbing one of his surfboards out he went to see if he could help the poor creature.
When he arrived at the spot where the kangaroo was he saw that it was fatigued. The strong currents and high waves had been sapping its energy for a while. An attempt was made by Neil to bring the kangaroo on the board with him but it kept struggling and ended up falling back off again. A number of people in kayaks were also in the area but not close enough to help. Neil changed his tact and and with the kangaroo secure under one arm Mike McGlinchey 49ers Jersey , he used the other to paddle back to land. Although a little worse for ware, both Neil and the roo made it back onto solid ground.
Experts are at loss as why the kangaroo thought it could swim, although they have named him Ian, after their national swimming champion Ian Thorpe. ?Kangaroos really can't swim very well? says Bret Harding of the Queensland Nature Reserve. They very rarely even enter water above their knees he states, but maybe this one had never been taught that by its parents.
Ian the kangaroo has made a full recovery and is being looked after in a nearby shelter. He is due be let out shortly when everyone is happy and the release site is going to be around 40 miles inland. Modesty is something that Neil seems to have bucket loads of Mike Hughes Vikings Jersey , passing off his actions as nothing more than "paddling out and bringing the poor fella back where he belongs".
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to Korean films. So are countless numbers in Mizoram, Manipur. Well basically the entire of Northeast India. I have heard it is a lot more so in nations like Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong Mike Gesicki Dolphins Jersey , Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Taiwan Maurice Hurst Falcons Jersey , Philippines, etcetera.
It has been some time now because I watched my 1st Korean movie – it was My Sassy Woman. (Incidentally, My Sassy Girl was the most popular and exportable Korean movie in the heritage Korean movie marketplace in accordance to Wikipedia. So common that it outsold The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter which ran at the identical time. It marketed 4,852,845 tickets!) That was all around two a long time back. By now I have watched scores of them – Windstruck Mason Rudolph Dolphins Jersey , Intercourse is Zero (Korean model of American Pie?), My Spouse is a Gangster 1, two & 3, The Classic, Daisy Marcus Davenport Saints Jersey , A Minute to Don’t forget, Joint Security Place, My Very little Bride, A Dirty Carnival, You are my Sunshine M.J. Stewart Buccaneers Jersey , Silmido, etc to name but a number of!
