A runaway kangaroo named Sheila led law enforcement to shut down a stretch of an Alabama interstate on Tuesday before state troopers and the animal’s owner wrangled the wayward marsupial with a tranquilizer.
“When somebody said there was a kangaroo of course I didn’t believe it, and nobody believed it. But I’m looking at him,” Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson said in a Facebook live video as the animal was captured.
The animal’s owner, Patrick Starr, told The Associated Press that she escaped from her enclosure. “She’s back home safe. She’s up. She’s not sedated anymore. She’s eating. She’s drinking. She’s not injured,” Starr said.
