CRAWFORD COUNTY, Kansas (KAKE) — Officials say a kangaroo who got loose on Easter Sunday is still at large in southeast Kansas.
The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office tells KAKE News that a kangaroo got loose from west Pittsburg on Easter Sunday and has not yet been found. The animal’s owners, the sheriff’s office says, were from out of state and have since returned home without the marsupial.
The sheriff’s office said the last possible sighting was on Tuesday, April 7, in the area of K-7 and Highway 126, about seven miles west of Pittsburg.
“Don’t approach it if you do see it, because I saw a video of one squaring up on somebody like a boxer once, and nobody’s gonna believe that you got punched by a Kangaroo in Crawford County, Kansas,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.
Anyone who sees the animal is urged not to approach it and immediately call the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office at 620-724-8274.
