Two kangaroos have been caught in a backyard fight before a cute wombat stepped in to intervene.

The remarkable footage showed the jumping kangaroos brawling at a rescue shelter at Cessnock in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.

The male kangaroos, hopping on their feet, exchanged a couple of blows before the wombat came running in between them in an attempt to break up the conflict.

Two hopping kangaroos are pictured brawling at Cessnock in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. A wombat is seen running towards them.
