Kangaroo shakes hand with humans after being saved (australia)

Two men who rescued a kangaroo from a freezing river were offered a handshake by the Australian animal as it seemingly offered its thanks.

The rescuers were filmed lifting the kangaroo from the chilly waters of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, in a video that’s been widely circulated on social media.

The kangaroo initially seemed nervous when the two men closed in, crouching low and then startling when the first man reached out to touch him.

However, it eventually allows them to lift it up and is carried out of the water.

Holding the animal between them, the two men walk to the edge of the lake, where they then pass the kangaroo up to a third man waiting on the pavement surrounding the water.
