A mother kangaroo has been captured reaching out to cuddle her joey one last time before she died.

袋鼠妈妈临死之前伸出手，试图最后一次去拥抱自己那年幼的小袋鼠。

The photographer, Evan Switzer, captured the moment on a bushland property in River Heads, Queensland, Australia.

在澳大利亚昆士兰州河头镇的一处原始林区，摄影师埃文·斯威策捕捉到了这一幕。

He noticed what was going on while he was on a walk on the property on Monday morning.

周一早上他在林区散步时，看到了袋鼠一家。

The mother was dying under the shade of a mango tree, and being supported by a male companion as she reached out for her joey.

在芒果树下有一只奄奄一息的雌袋鼠，她躺在雄袋鼠的臂弯，费力的想要伸出手来拥抱幼崽。

Mr. Switzer told the Daily Mail: "I saw the male pick up the female, he looked like he was just trying to get her up and see what was wrong with her.

斯威策告诉《每日邮报》：“我看到雄袋鼠托着雌袋鼠的头，想要把她托起来，看她哪里不舒服。”

"He would lift her up and she wouldn't stand she'd just fall to the ground, he'd nudge her, stand besides her ... it was a pretty special thing, he was just mourning the loss of his mate."

“雄袋鼠想将雌袋鼠托起，但她站不起来，反而倒了下去。他站在旁边试图轻轻推她……这一幕很特别，伴侣的离去令他很悲伤。
