Attention North Dakota!

Get your children inside! Warn everybody you know! There is a fearsome creature on the loose near Bismark. A Krazed Killer Kangaroo is on the loose! Well, ok, we don't know for sure he's a killer, but we can't be too certain when he'll revert to his ancestor's habits, either!

BISMARCK, N.D. - Law enforcement authorities on the lookout for criminals also are keeping an eye out for a missing kangaroo. Corey Botner, who lives southwest of Bismarck, said he was feeding his pet wallaroo, a member of the kangaroo family, when it got away Tuesday night.

Botner said the wallaroo, named Joe, was frightened by his new St. Bernard puppy. Joe is about a year old, around 4 feet tall with brown and black hair.

Lynn Jacobs, an animal warden at the Bismarck Police Department, said someone reported seeing a kangaroo Monday night. She worried that people might not believe what they see.

"They might think they got a whiff of something," she said.

Hah! Wait'll they go out to get a newspaper and a gator attacks them! Or go for a swim and meet a piranha. (That one was in North Dakota, too!)

Although, I'd have to say, if I was driving along and spotted a kangaroo, I'd like as not head for the eye doctor….
