”What the hell is that?” Li Du was startled.
Lu Guan, who had just walked behind the car, looked frightened. He said, ”Boss, is this a facehugger? Oh god, isn't this a facehugger?”
Li Du stared at him and said angrily, ”Go away!”
The facehugger was a monster in the Hollywood movie, ”Alien.” When they saw humans, they jumped on their faces, held their heads, and then entered their mouths like parasites.
The thing that jumped into Li Du's arms was clearly a small kangaroo. Lu Guan had just been messing around.
Li Du pulled the kangaroo out of his arms. It had short brown hair, long pointed ears, and big, shiny eyes.
”What's the matter?” Godzilla couldn't resist asking.
”This is a red kangaroo,” Brother Wolf said. ”What's missing is a female red kangaroo. When the female red kangaroo is attacked by predators and endangered, it will throw the baby kangaroo out of its pouch to divert attention from its predators so that it can escape.”
”Is that so?” Li Du was stunned.
Sofie said, ”What Brother Wolf said is just a rumor. But right now, it looks like it might have some truth to it.”
”Poor thing. Its mom abandoned it.” Ivana's little voice sounded sad. ”How did that happen?”
The three little animals came near to take a look. Ah Ow stretched out a paw wanting to play with the small kangaroo. The frightened joey peed on Li Du in fear.
Li Du carried him up to wipe his clothes and asked, ”What about this? Put him here. Will his mother come back?”
”No,” Sophie said, shaking her head. ”Kangaroos are so exclusionary that they can't tolerate foreign members entering the family, or even returning after a long absence.”
Li Du said, ”This does not have to do with our situation, right?”
”I'm not finished yet,” Sophie looked at him. ”A mother kangaroo who abandoned her baby will lose her status in the clan and will no longer be welcome back in the clan.”
”There are so many problems,” said Lu Guan indignantly.
Li Du had a headache. What were they supposed to do with this baby kangaroo?
Unless the mother kangaroo came back for it, it would not survive in the wild.
”Leave it to the zoo or the kangaroo protection agency, otherwise, it will die,” Brother Wolf said.
Australia's wild was dangerous, as there were a variety of venomous snakes, raptors and other predators. The small kangaroo's meat was tender, and it would be eaten if left outside alone.
There was some discussion, but no decision had been reached.
Li Du sighed and said, ”We caused the fight and have to be responsible for it.”
”What do you mean?” Lu Guan did not understand.
.
Li Du said, ”I mean we should take care of it. Get in the car, go look for a supermarket and buy some kangaroo milk powder.”
The mother kangaroo would not come back, now that she had disappeared. She threw away her child, jumped into the wilderness, and disappeared without a trace.
