In Jakarta, Indonesia, rescuers are returning seventeen rare pygmy kangaroos to the Papuan rain forest. These kangaroos were rescued in recent years from illegal traders and private zoos. These animals are very rare and it is unknown as to how many are left in the world today. These kangaroos can grow up to be three feet long and weigh twentyfive pounds. The animals being released were born to six males and females cared for by the Cikananga Animal Rescue Center on West Java where they have been reared to survive on their own again in their natural habitat. I feel that it is so important that there are still people in our world today who care for animals the way the rescuers did. Thanks to them, these kangaroos are safe and have been retrained as to how to survive in the wild. Now the kangaroos will be able to live normal lives again back in their natural habitat.
