LOOSE KANGAROO CAUGHT IN GERMANY

In Germany, a kangaroo that escaped from its owner’s property on New Year’s Eve has been captured more than six months later, about 50 miles from home. The kangaroo, named Skippy (* a good German name!), managed to evade capture for months, despite numerous sightings. Skippy was finally captured late last week by a resident of Lüdersdorf, about 50 miles from his owner’s home. The kangaroo is being temporary housed in his rescuer’s horse pen until his owner can bring him home, police said.
* “Yeah, I’ll get right on that,” said the owner, 50 miles away.
* Then it will be relocated to a local beer garden because they could use the hops.
* Missing six months? They sure didn’t find Skippy … in a JIF.
* It was found miles from its native home, which is, of course, Austria.
* They were able to search so long because the owner has … deep pockets.
* It’s lucky it wasn’t caught and turned into hoppenpfeffer.
