A kangaroo is on the loose in northern Bohemia

A kangaroo escaped from the backyard of its owner on Tuesday night near the north Bohemian town of Lovosice. The owner found a hole in the fence and his pet kangaroo missing on Wednesday morning after being alerted by the police that a kangaroo had been spotted in nearby villages. Although a number of people are reported to have seen the kangaroo named Joey, no one captured him and the owner recruited a friend with a private helicopter to help him look for the animal.
