Kangaroo Dies In Chinese Zoo After Visitors Throw Rocks 'To Make It Hop'

Zoo authorities in China say a kangaroo has been killed and another injured at Fuzhou Zoo in south-eastern Fujian province after visitors threw rocks into their enclosure.

Fuzhou Zoo's kangaroo breeder told Chinese media visitors sometimes throw stones to make the marsupials wake up or jump around. The zoo has reportedly now applied for funding to install high-definition surveillance cameras.It has also decided to only allow three of their kangaroos to be on show for visitors, while the body of the dead female kangaroo will be preserved and put on display.
