Two Swiss policemen emerged scratched but contented following a day-long chase after a kangaroo which made a leap for freedom from a zoo, police said on Tuesday.
The bounding marsupial was cornered after it was spotted by a road late on Monday, a few miles away from the open-air zoo in Gossau where it normally shows off to visitors, Zurich cantonal police said in a statement.
The two officers were scratched by the kangaroo's claws as they tried to wrestle it back into an enclosure.
