12-year-old female kangaroo has severe kidney bleeding
" For more than a month, our kangaroo has been killed and injured. was injured by a 5-year-old male kangaroo, and a 12-year-old female kangaroo. The day before yesterday, the reporter came to Fuzhou Zoo. Ms. Chen, a staff member in charge of animal rescue, said that the two attacks on kangaroos in a month have led to a decrease in the number of kangaroos in the display area.
Ms. Chen told reporters that the surveillance in the display area showed that on the afternoon of 23, multiple stones hit the female kangaroo. The stones had sharp edges and the female kangaroo's left toe was almost broken. Healthy kangaroos usually use their limbs to move forward, but after the female kangaroo was hit, she looked dull and supported by only the hind legs and tail, and could not move.
The female kangaroo's left toe was almost broken. One day later, he died of heavy kidney bleeding
The staff examined the female kangaroo. No other trauma was found except for the toes, so the wound was treated and infusion was treated. However, a day later, the female kangaroo unfortunately died.
Through dissection, it was found that the kangaroo had heavy bleeding in the kidneys and blood clots were almost large in fists. Ms. Chen said that it must have been hit by a stone in the kidney.
A few days after the female kangaroo died, the keeper found that a tourist threw bricks into the kangaroo cage. Fortunately, the 5-year-old male kangaroo was only injured in skin trauma and was not hit by the vital part.

The cute kangaroo
Like most parks in China, the Kangaroo display area of Fuzhou Zoo does not have a glass wall, but uses a wooden fence to distinguish tourists from kangaroo activities. There are eye-catching signs on the fence, calling on tourists to watch civilized.
The height of the wooden fence is more than 1 meter, and it is only about 5 meters away from the tree where kangaroos rest. After obtaining consent, the reporter entered the kangaroo activity area and saw two stones as big as a palm on the ground.
Stones thrown in by tourists in the Kangaroo activity area
Breeder Aunt Zhang said that in recent years, in order to watch kangaroos run and jump, some tourists have found something to smash kangaroos . For this reason, the zoo has cleared all the stones and stones around the display area. "Some adults, when they see kangaroos sleeping, pick up stones and throw them away. After we cleared the stones in the display area, they went to other places to look for them. It's so hateful!"
The most active time for kangaroos is during the feeding period, that is, from 8 am to 10 am and from 3 to 5 pm. After feeding, kangaroos like to lie under the tree and nap, and tourists should respect the animals.
- Fuzhou Zoo's expert
After the female kangaroo died, Fuzhou Zoo first freezes its body according to relevant regulations, and then sends it to a professional specimen company in the province for skin treatment and making it into a specimen.
According to reports, since Fuzhou Zoo moved to the new site in 2008, the park has installed surveillance in the key animal display area, but these surveillance targets animals rather than tourists. Therefore, in the two kangaroo attacks, the surveillance did not capture uncivilized tourists.
