The second incident occurred in Grantville, 100 kilometers southeast of Melbourne, and another person was attacked by a kangaroo. After medical staff treated the injured on the spot, they were taken to Casey Hospital. It is not clear what happened to the two injured.
analysis believes that the kangaroo injury incident may be related to drought. Drought makes it difficult for kangaroos to feed, so they go to inhabited places or on the roadside for food.
It is reported that the northern suburbs of Melbourne have been greatly affected, such as Doreen and South Morang, and wildlife rescuers have received several reports of kangaroos being hit by a car in one day.
In addition to the kangaroo attack, on April 17, a couple was attacked by pet deer in the Wangarata area of Australia. The husband unfortunately died and his wife was seriously injured.
