Thankful Kangaroo Offers A Handshake After Three Men Save It From Freezing Lake (Video & Pictures)

Two men were hailed as heroes for allegedly rescuing a little kangaroo from frigid waters in Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. But some question whether it was a true rescue or if these humans were just meddling with a kangaroo who didn’t need any rescuing. The video shows a kangaroo standing in shallow water that hits him at the knees and the two men at the ankles.

We always love seeing people helping animals. It's a truly thankless job — animals don't usually show much appreciation for a good deed. But sometimes animals have a sweet way of saying "thanks" to their rescuers, like one grateful kangaroo who offered a hand shake to the men who saved him.
