Durango, CO – Officers were surprised when a 911 caller reported a “baby kangaroo with a diaper on” wandering around a major city street. The chase was short lived, and the kangaroo was quickly caught without incident.
The diaper indicated to the officers that the animal was likely a legal exotic pet, and quickly managed to track down the owner and return the kangaroo safe and sound. The department posted about the incident on their Facebook to “make light” of the situation, which could have been deadly for the young kangaroo wandering around the busy streets.
