Villagers in Klong Laung district of PathumThani on December 13 found a baby kangaroo under a rat trap they had set up.
The male kangaroo was injured after its leg was caught in the trap and could go nowhere until villages found it.
The animal was later moved to a cage but was agitated from its ordeal. It didn't eat the vegetables or fruit or drink the water villages offered it and jumped around the cage. They then informed the village chief, who contacted wildlife officials to take care of the animal.
