An Australian wildlife carer has suffered a punctured lung as she and her family fought off a savage attack by a kangaroo at their property.
Linda Smith and her husband Jim were feeding kangaroos hit by drought conditions in Queensland when a kangaroo turned on them.
The couple and their son fought off the attack, said by wildlife officials to be rare, with a broom and a shovel.
The animal hopped off into the bush before emergency services arrived.
