Florida Police Detain Runaway Kangaroo
Meanwhile in Florida, cops recently captured a runaway kangaroo and the strange incident was captured all on camera.
The marsupial, identified by local media as Jack, escaped his home Thursday morning and was seen bouncing through Fort Lauderdale. Officers said that when they first got the call they didn’t believe it. However, when they arrived they did spot little jack.

Following an hour pursuit, Fort Lauderdale police apprehended the runaway roo near 1300 NE 2nd Avenue. After working to detain the kangaroo, they picked him up and put him in the back of a police car — but not without snapping a few selfies with him. “We just tried to corral it and keep it out of traffic,” said Officer Robert Norvis, who was part of the capture. “He’s very friendly. We were able to get a rope around his neck and get him in the back of the car.”
Norvis added, “I’ve been a police officer for 26 years. I’ve had snake calls and python calls, maybe an alligator, but never heard of a kangaroo around here.”
