JSmith Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...n1.36c54bd.html I saw that article and couldn't help but laugh. I live about 20 minutes from Lewisville and my friend Jane lives about 3 blocks over from where this happened. I'm just waiting to see this on the news and have someones home video sent in showing cops trying to arrest a kangaroo... in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Administrator Graeme Posted December 4, 2007 Site Administrator Share Posted December 4, 2007 It sounds like the officer was lucky. Cornering a kangaroo isn't a smart thing to do. They are easily panicked and if they decide to attack, they roll back on their tail and rake with their hind paws -- causing a LOT of damage. My impression is that somehow the officer got behind the kangaroo -- the only safe way to approach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
