MIRA MESA – San Diego police jumped on a report of a fugitive kangaroo on Canyon Peak Lane last night.
A woman phoned police about 10:35 p.m. saying a 3-foot-tall kangaroo was hopping down the street. Westbound.
Then a man called 20 minutes later saying it was back, and it was for real.
The three officers who headed that way confirmed her report. Casting about for an explanation, police called the San Diego Wild Animal Park. They were told the park keeps no kangaroos. Park workers suggested calling an animal control officer.
About 11:30 p.m. the kangaroo's owner showed up, apprehended her animal and took it home. Police said they know of no law against owning a kangaroo.
Tie me Kangaroo Down, Sport.
Do Kangaroos get along with goats?
What fun.
