Australia fires: Picture of burnt baby kangaroo stuck in fence will leave you devasted

The deadly bushfires in Australia have so far destroyed more than 1,200 homes and have killed thousands of animals across New South Wales and Victoria. 

A state of emergency has been declared and local authorities have been allowed to carry out forced evacuations, road closures and everything that can be done to keep residents and property safe.

High temperatures and strong winds are just making situations worse, leading to "widespread extreme fire danger".

From animals to humans, many have lost their homes and loved ones. 

While hundreds of heart-wrenching photos of Australia bush fire is going viral, a photo of charred baby kangaroo stuck to a wire fence will make your heart weep.
