A young kangaroo jumped into a discarded hubcap and got its leg trapped in the hubcap at the Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park, north of Perth, Western Australia.  The male kangaroo was discovered by families paying their respects at the cemetery and it was then rescued by wildlife officers.

Siberian tigers are really rare species and only about 450 Siberians survive in the wild.

Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Zoo, a Chinese zoo in north-west China, could not afford to feed the tigers 20lbs of beef every day.  The zookeeper used cheap chicken bones to feed the tigers and starvation caused the tigers to death.  The problem has not been solved for two years and there are 30 tigers remain on site.
