Kangaroo's Epic 'Double Jump' Caught On Video

Earlier this week, Nathan Xuebsy and his crew were at a job site in Victoria, Australia, when a wild visitor entered their midst. It was an energetic kangaroo who, passing by them, ultimately wound up within the confines of a fenced-in empty lot. The crew opened up a portion of the metal fencing in the front to grant the kangaroo an easy escape — but the bouncy animal had other plans. What resulted was a leap for the ages:

But in so doing, he achieved a sort of "double jump" — sending him soaring higher in the air than he'd likely been expecting. Xuebsy caught it all on video. "I took a screenshot of the video when the kangaroo was at its highest," Xuebsy told Australia's 9 News. "I put it on Facebook and said I think I just took the best photo I ever will in my life." Here's footage showing the remarkable snapshot is indeed truly real:
