Hard-headed approach frees kangaroo with head stuck in watering can – video

The kangaroo found on a golf course in South Australia.

A kangaroo on South Australia’s Eyre peninsula was certainly looking in the right place for a drink but ended up in trouble when it got its head stuck in a watering can.

The two-metre tall male red kangaroo, who was clearly distressed, was found near the Coffin Bay golf course. Onlookers began to look for ways to free it when the marsupial appeared unable to dislodge the can by itself.

They initially tried pull off the can using ropes while holding onto the kangaroo’s tail, but were unsuccessful. They later managed to cut through the galvanised steel watering can, letting the animal bound away unharmed.
