BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. -- Bay St. Louis animal-control officers said there have been several reports in the past few days of a kangaroo hopping along U.S. 90.
Mayor Eddie Favre said he's heard reports of people seeing a kangaroo four or five different times, and at first, Favre said, he wondered if someone was just joking around.
Some officials suspect the animal was someone's pet that may have escaped.
Based on eyewitness accounts, the kangaroo is about 4 feet tall.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs said kangaroos usually feed on fruits and vegetables.
Most are nocturnal, but some are active in the early morning and late afternoon.
Officials said local animal-control officers have never dealt with a kangaroo.

A Ruger M77 in .270Win would be my personal choice. I’m biased, however.
aawww!
"Jackie," he said "that's IT! I quit drinking! I was driving the truck today out by Dover Point and I saw a BUFFALO run right across the road! Pink elephants I can deal with - but when you start seeing BUFFALO, it's time to quit!
So my dad says - "Um, Bud, were you anywhere near that new Buffalo farm they just built? You know, the one out on the point?"
Nothing like shooting rabbits with an elephant gun. "Sac off"
“Based on eyewitness accounts, the kangaroo is about 4 feet tall.”
Big bunny!!
;-)
The attitude, there is an animal, lets kill it! Does not bring honor to any sportsman, and gives all sorts of ammo to the peta and animal rights crowd to label hunters, such as my self, as wackos.
pardon the ping...
but one of your Australian nationals is on the loose and a long, long
way from home!
Sorry. I guess my attempts at humor need /sarc tags, and such.
I’ve settled in with a bunch of good folks here that will joke about such things.
I’ve never broken any fishing, hunting or firearm related law. I don’t poach. I’ve turned in poachers. I’ve had my life threatened by poachers that I’ve turned in. I eat everything I harvest.
It was a humorous story. I tried to add a bit more humor while bumping the thread.
I screwed up. I am sorry.
Awww,,you are so sweet. Actually you made me laugh and I knew you didn’t mean it. But it was big of you to say you are sorry.
