The city of Biloxi Mississippi needs your help.

It was announced in the news this a.m. that a kangaroo is loose on the
streets. The Mayor thinks "its a joke or something" Nope it's been
spotted by 6 people along Highway 90. That is the scenic route along
the coast.

The animal handlers don't know how to capture it. Now they can
capture a gator or two a day but are stumped as to how to handle this
situation.

It is estimated to be about 4 feet tall.

You never know just what will bounce out after a hurricane.

Well, Kate,
Roo's are pretty darn difficult to catch even for an Aussie!
They run and jump so unpredictably. Usually, a ranger will try to
shoot it with a tranquilliser dart if the animal will pause for a
second.
Actually, the boot was on the other foot a week or so back here. A
wild deer careened through the neighbourhood with the same problem. It
seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of nervous energy. In the end
it had to be shot dead. It was such a big animal.
Evidently there are some wild deer around, but nothing like stateside
of course.
