How interesting:)
There use to be an exotic animal dealer right on the main road thru Bixby. They had kangaroos. Now that was fun to see. My son was friends with the grandson of the lady that owned them. Charlie and Kristy got to see babies that were still in the pouch, altho not the pouch of the momma kangas. For some reason, they had to take the babies away at a certain age, (they stay in the pouches a long time), and they lived in fake pouches that hung on doorknobs in the ladies house:) They’d come out, to eat and play awhile, then crawl back in. Kristy said it was really cool and was going to take me to see them, but before I got to go, she sold them all and got out of the business.:(
