Older kangaroo helps young joey scratch his back

Ah, is there anything worse than having an itch you can’t quite reach? It’s enough to drive you hopping mad! Our Haven Wildlife Shelter in Victoria, Australia, has posted a video of a young kangaroo joey with that exact problem.

Spud the joey has an itch that he’s been struggling with for a while, but no matter how hard he tries he just can’t get his tiny paws back there to scratch it. His friend Blue, an older kangaroo, notices this and decides to lend a helping paw.

Our Haven Wildlife Shelter is a non-profit animal sanctuary where sick and injured wildlife are nursed back to health. For more information, click here.
