A kangaroo was captured while taking a dip in a pool as the temperatures top 40C.
Sharon Grady, filmed this moment when the Kangaroo was relaxing in her pool in Merriwa, New South Wales.
The area has been affected due to huge bushfires and the weather was up to 42C.
This cute video of the kangaroo was shared by Aussie radio station 98.1 Power FM and went viral quickly.
One person wrote: “Bless him. Just let him have the pool. The heat, fires n weather has all become too much.”
A second commented: “Drought and fires have played havoc with their environment not to mention mankind. Glad to see this fella found somewhere to cool off.”
A third added: “Bless, must be awful for them at the moment, glad he found somewhere cool and wet. He needs to tell his mates.”
The recent bushfires hit many of Australia’s endemic species. We saw pictures, where Koalas and kangaroos were burnt, exhausted and with nowhere to live.
A koala was saved and sent to Port Macquarie Koala Hospital for the treatment but was sadly put to sleep just days later.
His story made everyone emotional, and a fundraiser set up by the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and several other animal organizations. This page was titled Help Thirsty Koalas Devastated by Recent Fires.
Recently, the hospital wrote that the money would be used to fit 100 drinking stations ‘in fire-affected regions across New South Wales’.
With extra monies raised be used to start a Wild Koala Breeding Program because of the ‘decimation of the wild koala population in NSW we are investigating the establishment of three breeding areas, all controlled and genetically managed to ensure the ongoing survival of healthy wild koalas.’
