When a baby kangaroo was orphaned and taken to police officers in western Australia, one constable decided to adopt him.

The only problem Constable Mason of the Cue Police Station had was that his new family member needed a name. Western Australia Police announced its predicament last week, writing, "Orphaned joey handed to police today. Adopted by Pc Mason. We need a name."

A day later, Mason announced the joey's name in a video that has since gone viral.
