Nine News in Australia reports that two men were paddelboarding off the coast of East Grippsland in Victoria when they spotted a small furry creature struggling in the water. They were about 300 meters (176 Quarks stood end-to-end) off the beach, so it was an unusual sighting.

Huwan Medcalf and Harrison Mog found that the animal was a wallaby, which is a marsupial species native to Australia and New Guinea. They placed it on a board and brought it back to shore where it lay stunned for a while before starting to move on its own.
