Surfer rescues drowning kangaroo

Just to show those enjoying adventurous sports have a softer side.

The rescue of a drowning kangaroo off the Gold Coast in Australia has been captured on mobile phone.

Neil McCallum got on his surfboard to try to rescue the kangaroo after seeing it "dive in the water and start swimming out to sea".
