Colorado Resident Reports Kangaroo on the Loose

A Colorado resident out walking their dog made a worrisome call to 911 last week (July 9) after he allegedly saw a kangaroo in the neighborhood.

The Pueblo Police Department is reporting that officers responded to call of a kangaroo on the loose at 3:45 a.m. in an area in southern Colorado, east of City Park near Goodnight and Newman.

Poudre Police, Poudre Fire, and AMR responded to search for the animal but came up empty-handed. Authorities reached out to the zoo and they did a headcount confirming all the kangaroos were accounted for.

This could be one of two things.

1. A runaway wallaby named "surprise" who continues to elude wildlife officials

2. Deer standing up on their hind legs that the Pueblo Police Department points out "kind of look like kangaroos".
