People say we should learn from the animals in this New Galactic Cycle . At least one recent incident proves that even wild animals are intelligent and capable of solidarity.

Last Saturday, August 3,  seven year old  Simon Kruger was having a picnic with his Family,  on the Fleurieu Peninsula in Australia when  the boy got lost seeking flowers to his mother. By nightfall Simon’s parents and a rescue team scoured the area looking for the boy, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, in this chilly night, the boy found a local friend that he says have helped him to be alive.  According to Simon, in the midst of his wanderings, a kangaroo approached him to eat f the bouquet of flowers he had picked before. Then, the animal lay down and fell asleep by his side, offering some comfort and warmth to the child.

Only 24 hours later, when the helicopters joined the search is that Simon was discovered and transported to civilization, telling the amazing story. Although children of this age have a vivid imagination, Simon’s mother said she knew it was true the moment she smelled the boy’s clothes b: __ I think it was a miracle, the clothes smell and the bush kangaroo!

We can not say it was altruism of the kangaroo , but it is not the first time that the animal helps a human being. In 2003, an orphan rescued kangaroo screamed until help arrives for her protector. The man was hit by a tree limb while outside the property and his family found him because of Lulu frantic calls. The kangaroo was the first wild animal to receive the National Animal Valour Award.

Simon  parentes  would no doubt like to see awarded  the animal that saved  their son.
