## Caption

Last month, a call to a collision in Bellfield led to an unexpected rescue.⁣
 ⁣
Leading Senior Constable Kew attended the scene on Grampians Road, where sadly a mother kangaroo didn’t survive. After conducting a pouch check, a tiny joey was located alive and well. 🦘⁣
 ⁣
The uninjured (and very lucky) little one was safely rescued and taken to a local wildlife shelter, where he’s expected to make a full recovery. ⁣
 ⁣
This #WorldWildlifeDay, we’re reminding everyone that our roads are shared with wildlife, especially in regional areas.⁣
 ⁣
If you need to stop for wildlife, please remember:⁣
🚗 Only stop if it is safe to do so.⁣
💡 Stay visible. Use your headlights and hazard lights, and wear high-vis clothing if you have it handy. ⁣
📞 Call wildlifevictoria on 03 8400 7300. ⁣
👀 Never step into traffic or near blind corners where you can’t see oncoming vehicles. ⁣
🛑 Keep a safe distance and only approach the animal under guidance from the Emergency Response Service. ⁣
 ⁣
As always, drive to the conditions and help keep our wildlife safe.
