Injured kangaroo hops into Australian airport
受傷袋鼠跳進澳大利亞機場求救
Melbourne airport in Australia had an energetic and somewhat confused visitor, scaring passengers in equal measure.
A kangaroo, hurt and bleeding, made its way inside the Qantas Airways domestic terminal on Wednesday. Once inside, the marsupial, which had been hit by a vehicle at a nearby intersection, made its way into a pharmacy.
Shop workers, Qantas staff and federal police managed to contain the kangaroo in the pharmacy for a couple of hours before wildlife officers arrived. Two rescue volunteers tranquillized the animal and took it to a vet for treatment.
There has been an increase in such incidents in recent years. Anaylsts say this is due to expanded human activities which have invaded the species' habitats.
