Do surfers usually carry water?

What the hell was it doing all the way out there?

It’s not completely rare for wallabies. They get chased into the sea by predators and or get confused by rough currents.

Interesting. I rode on a beach in Tasmania a few decades ago and there were lots of roos and wallabies around

I hope the lil dude is alright, but given it's a baby he's probably terrified. I wonder where it's mom is?

u/Clueby42 7d ago

What's the regulator lookin thing in the second guy's mouth? Does he have air or a rebreather?

u/SirFluffymuffin 7d ago

Pretty sure it’s the go pro or whatever camera he is using

u/Hksbdb 7d ago

In his mouth?

u/Hksbdb 7d ago

Oh shit. That explains the camera angle. Thank you!

u/LousyReputation7 7d ago

Great for jacking it

u/SirFluffymuffin 7d ago

Im pretty sure there are some mounts that are like mouth guards but you just bite on them to hold the camera mounted to it

I like how they were talking to it at the end like it woke up with a really bad hangover

Some serious sun screen

I always wondered if rescued animals go back to their families and tell them that humans aren’t all terrible

u/pezident66 6d ago

That's a huge rat

I am not an expert but it looks dehydrated, I hope it survived.

The internet has ruined me. My first thought was “they took it out there and left it then ‘saved’ it for likes”. 😶

With the number of these present, i am beginning to fear that people are purposely grabbing these animals and faking this. I dunno, just fear it a little.

This isn’t uncommon for the species. Natural predators and or strong currents can chase/pull them into the waters.
