A rat-plagued bamboo farmer north of Bangkok made a curious discovery Saturday when he found an Australian baby helplessly stuck in a trap.
He freed the creature, a little baby wallaby, and moved it into a wooden cage at his Pathum Thani farm, but not before everyone asked: Why is there a baby kangaroo in Thailand and how the hell did it get here?
Officials came the next day to check on the foreign creature. The baby joey boy was estimated to be three-to-five months old and weighed about 3.5 kilograms, the size of a well-grown kitty.
He is reportedly healthy despite suffering from minor injuries from the rat trap. However he agreed to eat the fruits and vegetables fed by locals.
The baby wallaby is now in the care of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and Plant Conversation, Thai PBS reported.
