Poor Skippy

December 12, 2007 on 8:36 pm | In Uncategorized |

Did you know that a kangaroo can swim? Well, I didn’t either but apparently they can. A tourist managed to catch on film a ‘roo swimming around in a bay at Torquay’s Fishermans Beach in Victoria, NSW, Australia.  The kangaroo was swimming around and then left the water. But, unfortunately, Skippy’s don’t swim fast enough.

The ‘roo then went back into the water and swam about 80 metres out from shore. He was doing nicely until…a sharks fin surfaced.  The ‘roo swam for a bit when then the shark surfaced. The shark circled the ‘roo, as they do, and then struck.

The shark flipped over on it’s side and all of a sudden Skippy was gone. The tourist who captured this all on film said he had never seen anything like it in his life. I’ll bet there are many Australians who never knew a kangaroo could really swim.

The trouble is…they can’t swim fast enough!.
