Roo on the Loose!
The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like to assure the public that they were not hallucinating if they spotted a kangaroo hopping around Reeder’s Line in Howard Township yesterday.
In a surprising turn of events, the little “Roo” made a daring escape from the local Aviaries and went on a short-lived adventure.
Thankfully, staff members quickly rounded up the little kangaroo and returned it safely to Greenview Aviaries.
