REMEMBER the story we brought you about the depressed woman who was having her paralyzed pet kangaroo taken away from her - Well good news.
Christie Carr can now keep Irwin the disabled red kangaroo within the city limits of Broken Arrow, OK after a council meeting voted unanimously that she could keep him.
They had been worried that the Aussie native might grow up to 7 feet tall, weigh more than 200 pounds and bound 25 feet in a single leap.
But veterinarians say Irwin will probably not grow larger than 50 pounds because of his injury.
Irwin fractured his neck and suffered brain damage when he ran into a fence and he can only hop with assistance, and cannot stand or walk on his own.
