Summary:
When the Hays County Constable’s Office first started getting calls about a kangaroo on the loose in Wimberley, they assumed it was a joke. But as more and more residents reported sightings of a tan, male kangaroo in their backyards and even on their front porches, it became clear that the tiny Texas Hill Country town had an AWOL marsupial on their hands.
The kangaroo, it turns out, escaped from Trails End Ranch, an exotic wildlife ranch on the town’s outskirts, on Wednesday. Owner Roy Dale told KVUE that he thought his gates would keep the kangaroo on his property while he was out of town this week, but the curious ‘roo hopped right over.
