Who keeps a kangaroo as a pet? Hope the family is held liable for the car damage.

"The driver thought he hit a deer, and the sheriff's office said he was "shocked" when he learned he had hit a kangaroo.

I imagine most Americans would be a little shocked to learn that...although we did have an escaped emu running around our neck of the woods in Alabama a few years back, and there was no mistaking that thing when you saw it!

It is well known in Australia that kangaroos will jump out onto the road when they see a car's headlights.
They head straight for the lights.

Didn’t heed “tie me kangaroo down, sport”—a Rolf Harris 1962 hit song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Pnead96bA

By the way, “A female kangaroo is called a doe, flyer, jill or roo; a male is called a buck, boomer, jack or old man.”

So in the White House we now have a jill and an old man. Uncanny.

Always tough to lose a beloved pet. I feel sorry for the family and for the fellow who accidentally hit it.

In many western states, the owner of the animal is responsible for keeping them controlled, and off the Right of Way.

Is that the way of it in this state?

One of my life’s dreams is to fight a kangaroo, but I don’t think hitting one with a car would be nearly as fun.

Illegal kangaroos now?
What boat did they come in on?
Where’s the rest of the crew?

So many questions. No answers.
Sorry, I’m reading about Brandon today. ;-))

Was the kangaroo driving on the wrong side of the road?
