Police in Ontario are on the lookout for a kangaroo that has escaped
Ontario Regional Police were asking for the public’s help to find a missing kangaroo.
The animal went missing while at a “pit stop” at the Oshawa Zoo, according to police.
Sgt. Joanne Bortoluss told The Epoch Times in an email that the kangaroo escaped on the evening of Nov. 30.
“A delivery driver en route to Quebec with two kangaroos made a pit stop at the Oshawa Zoo to let the kangaroos stretch their legs,” Sgt. Bortoluss said. “Unfortunately, during this break, one of the kangaroos managed to escape and has been sighted multiple times.”
Park supervisor and head keeper for the Oshawa Zoo and Fun Farm Cameron Preyde told media the stop was meant to be brief.
