Kangaroo Escapes with Help from Fox, Boar
Authorities in Germany were hunting high and low Monday for a kangaroo that escaped from his animal park with the unwitting help of a fox and a wild boar, a zoo official said Monday.
Three kangaroos named Skippy, Jack and Mick on Saturday night bounded through a hole in the fence of their enclosure made by a helpful fox, Michael Hoffmann, deputy head of the animal park near Frankfurt, told AFP.
One unadventurously stayed within the park grounds and was swiftly recaptured. The other two scrabbled to freedom through a hole dug by a wild boar under the park’s exterior barriers.
Vets snared one of the refugee pair after a long chase, Hoffmann said, but the third had proved harder to track down.
The animal is no danger to the public, stressed Hoffmann. “He’s super friendly, super nice. Absolutely no danger at all.”
