The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the kangaroo was spotted Tuesday hopping along the side of Interstate 85 in Macon County, which is between Montgomery and Auburn.

The sight snarled traffic, and state troopers shut down both sides of the interstate for the safety of motorists. The animal’s owner and troopers were able to capture it, Capt. Jeremy J. Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said.

A kangaroo in Alabama? Maybe she was in heat and hopping to the DFW airport, to get the Qantas fight to Sydney.

I know bad joke, flame away.

A few years back I was living in the woods outside of Cook Springs, AL. An emu escaped from a nearby farm and was roaming the forests around our house for a week or two.

Same farm has a donkey that gets out periodically and searches the adjacent hunting lease for deer corn stashes. One of the funniest photos I've ever seen was a night time photo from a game camera showing Mr. Donkey happily chowing down on deer corn in, shall we say, an extremely high state of arousal.
