Every year， people from every corner of the world travel to Australia to meet the kangaroo﹣the lovely， unuaual and special Australian animal that jumps all over this sunburnt continennt．There is a young kangaroo that is lucky to be alive today， thanks to meeting a pair of New South Wales teenagers．

Nick Heath and Jack Donnelly were riding their motorbikes in the bush outside Sydney on Sunday when they came across a kangaroo stuck in the mud（泥）． The boys were lucky enough to see the head of the animal sticking out of the mud at Agnes Banks next the Mepean River in southwest Sydney．

The animal was clearly in pain but the boys couldn't reach it so they raced home to get a rope．When they returned， Mr． Donnelly tied the rope around his waist（腰） and walked into the thick mud to get hold of the kangaroo while his friend then pulled them about 30m to safety．

Appearing on Today this morning， the young men retold their story．

"The kangaroo's life was important to us， so we pulled out all the stops to rescue it．" Mr． Heath said．

"We're proud of what we did． If we see something like that again， we'll doit all over．"Mr Heath added．

The animal， which was not in great health， after being saved， was handed to Wildlife Rescue Organization． It's believed that it's very hot and the kangaroo was likely searching for water in the dry conditions when it got stuck in the mud．

As for the heroes of the story， they're glad to have been in the right place at the right time to help the animal and don't care about the attention it's brought．

"Yeah， we liked it， something different．" Mr． Donnelly told reporters．
