Nicole Kidman Mourns Pet Kangaroo

Naur! Nicole Kidman’s pet kangaroo, Mate, has died this week.

The actress and Australian posted the news to Instagram Tuesday, bidding Mate a final “G’day” and reassuring fans that he “lived a good life” and “he’s in a better place.” The Consensus is doubtful that heaven is a better place for a kangaroo than the Australian Outback, but we have been unable to reach Mate for comment.

Kidman also stated on Instagram that she and unlikely husband Keith Urban will hold a celebration of life for Mate on Sunday. The Consensus reached out to a source close to Kidman in order to determine what Mate’s memorial will entail.

“Well, they’ll definitely do the classic Australian funerary activities, like beer and shrimp on the barbie. Also emus. Wait, what? This is what you’re making me read? You know that Australians do things other than beer and shrimp on the barbie, right? They’ll probably just do, like, normal, universal pet funeral things, like burying Mate in Vegemite™,” said the insider. Way to defy Australian stereotypes, Nicole!
