THIS is the hilarious moment an INFLATABLE KANGAROO was stuffed through a World Cup security scanner.
Australia fans were spotted taking an inflatable of their national animal into a fan park on Saturday.
And Qatar staff sent the poor creature head first into the x-ray scanner.
News outlet First Edition tweeted footage of the roo being manhandled.
Footy supporters on social media are loving the kanga’s special moment.
One wrote: “Check its pouch.”

Another added: “Checking for concealed and loaded rainbow flags.”
While one joked: “It will probably have had worse done to it…”
The kangaroo was recognised as an official symbol of Australia when it was included on the nation’s coat of arms in 1908.
Fans will be excited as they enter the Al-Rayyan Stadium tonight.
