Jack the Kangaroo Returns to the Wild

Jack the kangaroo came to Bluebush Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation in rough shape. He had been caught up in the Australian bushfires and his feet, tail and ears had suffered painful burns. Jack should have still been with his mother, but she was nowhere to be found.

Thanks to an outpouring of support from the SPCA International community, Jack received the best possible care and rehab. Today, Jack is thriving. He is learning to live on his own in the wild with a group of other young kangaroos.

Jack and other adolescent kangaroos are placed in an area of the reserve with an open gate so they can begin to explore on their own. The gate will stay open with a feeding station for as long as they need it.

A week after the gate was opened, Jack was seen exploring his surroundings on the motion camera.
