A Erskine resident was left horrified on Monday after stumbling upon a decapitated kangaroo.
Jenny Spencer was enjoying her regular walk through Len Howard Conservation Reserve when she found the dead kangaroo.
Ms Spencer said because of the way the marsupial was mangled, she alleged it had been decapitated by a person rather than a natural cause.
She said she was appalled by the scene and immediately called authorities.

“I could tell an animal was not responsible because the edge of the wound was way to neat,” she said.
“I burst into tears because kangaroos are such beautiful animals I couldn't believe someone had done this.”
City of Mandurah rangers, RSPCA and Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions officers have been informed about the situation.
A department spokeswoman said officers were investigating the incident.
