Floridians received a surprise on Tuesday when a kangaroo was spotted hopping the streets of Palm Beach County.
The 5-year-old kangaroo, named Storm, somehow escaped from an animal sanctuary in Jupiter Farms, The Palm Beach Post reported.
Owner Eric Westergard told the news outlet he wasn't sure how Storm — one of six kangaroos he owns — got out, but said "sometimes they get spooked."
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conversation Commission (FWC), volunteers from the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary and Florida Highway Patrol are all reportedly searching for the kangaroo, which was first reported missing around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
FWC spokesperson Tyson Matthews said that since kangaroos are nocturnal, investigators might have to search for Storm into the night.
He noted that when the kangaroo is found, he'll most likely be shot with a tranquilizer and returned to Westergard.
Anyone who spots the kangaroo is urged to contact FWC at 888-404-3922.

Cute one!
I hope they catch him without hurting him and return him to the sanctuary.

I bet the T-Rex used to act like that.My hunch is that T-Rex were even sillier.

An EMT described his oddest call as being to a rural area outside of Orlando one weekend when he had to assess and dress cuts and bruises to a drunk who challenged a neighbor’s pet kangeroo to a boxing match. The kangeroo easily beat the drunk to a pulp. The funny part was that the drunk and his friend described the assailant as “Fred next door,” which meant that the EMT got a burst of laughter from them when he asked if Fred needed any treatment.

All the pictures and videos I’ve seen show them active during the day.

A kangaroo after my own heart. We are unpredictable and often illogical.
