On Tuesday night, a kangaroo was on the loose in Midland County, Texas.
"I've seen a lot of weird stuff but I've never seen anything like that,"
Ryan Murray said. Murray was driving on Highway 158 when he pulled up
on an unusual scene. "I saw all these cops and I was wondering what was
going on and then I saw the silhouette of a little baby kangaroo,"
Murray said.
The kangaroo was hopping around Midland County, like it was the outback.
Murray pulled out his phone and started recording. "I couldn't believe
it," Murray said. "I was like that's pretty strange." Midland County
deputies couldn't believe it either. The initial call had them
scratching their heads.
"They were questioning the call you know, kangaroo? In Midland, Texas?
There ain't no kangaroos out here,
surely it's gotta be something different," Midland County Sheriff, Gary
Painter, said. "They thought dispatch was crazy so they went out there
and sure enough they found it."
It turns out, the animal got loose from its owner who was also trying to
find him. Deputies cornered the kangaroo while the owner distracted
him. "He got out of the car and then had a treat and as soon as he
reached in to grab the treat, he scooped him up," Murray said. The
animal is now back with its owner.
