攝氏40度高溫!小負鼠快渴死 澳男喂牠喝水後立刻重生

國際中心綜合報導

澳洲夏天又幹又炎熱的天氣讓許多人都受不了,動物也一樣,對許多生活野外毛孩子來說,如果找不到水喝便是最痛苦的折磨。澳洲墨爾本男子桑德(Ben Saunders)日前在街上看到一隻力氣盡失的負鼠,幾乎是掙扎地爬上樹幹的一半就動不了,他趕緊拿出水慢慢喂牠,而小負鼠也像是「重生」了一樣,恢復了精力

桑德表示,當時的氣溫大約是華氏104度(相當攝氏40度左右)的高溫,他看到了一隻似乎是因爲口渴而死氣沉沉的負鼠,已經沒有力氣好好爬樹了,當下就決定要伸出援手幫忙。他從包包裡拿出一瓶礦泉水喂牠,慢慢地,這隻小負鼠開始有了力氣,甚至伸出一隻小手扶着瓶口大口大口喝着水。

之後這隻負鼠灰復了力氣,「牠喝完水像是很開心似的,蹦蹦跳跳回到樹上的小窩裡。」桑德提到,其實遇到野生動物通常要避開,不要去影響牠們的生活,但遇到特殊狀況時候還是必須要幫忙,「我真的不喜歡看到有動物掙扎求生,尤其是在這種熱死人的天氣,更應該要好好注意周遭的狀況。」

It might only be a small ringtail possum but I hate to see any animal suffering. I was just driving along and saw her on the ground really struggling in this 40 degree Celsius heat. She only just had enough energy to get up this tree. She was fairly happy to get a big drink of water and is now happily back in the tree in her nest. Keep an eye out for any wildlife that might be suffering in this insane heat!
