A trio of wild animals that had all been shot with air rifle pellets were rescued by a zoo in Australia within the space of three days.
The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, located in eastern Australia's Sunshine Coast region, took in a common brushtail possum, a lace monitor and an osprey, all of which had previously been injured with projectiles fired from air rifles, the facility said in a statement.
