Authorities in Germany were hunting high and low for a kangaroo that escaped from his animal park with the unwitting help of a fox and a wild boar, a zoo official said on Monday. Michael Hoffmann, deputy head of the animal park near Frankfurt, told AFP that three kangaroos named Skippy, Jack and Mick on Saturday night bounded through a hole in the fence of their enclosure after a young fox snuck into the park and dug the hole next to the fencing. One unadventurously stayed within the park grounds and was swiftly recaptured. The other two then scrabbled to freedom through a hole dug by a wild boar under the park’s exterior barriers. Vets snared one of the refugee pair after a long chase, Hoffmann said, but the third had proved harder to track down. Hoffmann said “we’ve got two of them back; now we’re just looking for the third.” The animal is no danger to the public, stressed Hoffmann. “He’s super friendly, super nice. Absolutely no danger at all.” There have been several sightings of the kangaroo still at large but he has managed to stay one hop ahead of authorities. He feeds on vegetables and grasses, so should find plenty to forage, said Hoffmann. From : Gulftoday
