An
injured kangaroo hopped into an airport in Australia's second-largest
city on Wednesday, perplexing passengers as it made its way into a
terminal shop.
Airport
officials aren't entirely sure how the kangaroo got into the Qantas
Airways domestic terminal, Melbourne Airport spokeswoman Anna Gillett
said. But once inside, the marsupial — which had been hit by a vehicle
at a nearby intersection and was bleeding — made its way into a
pharmacy.
Shop
workers, Qantas staff and federal police contained the creature in the
pharmacy for a couple hours before wildlife officers arrived. Two rescue
volunteers tranquilized the kangaroo and took it to a vet for
treatment, Wildlife Victoria said in a statement.
This
isn't the first time a kangaroo has paid a visit to Melbourne Airport.
Last year, a 'roo was found bouncing around one of the airport's parking
garages.
