Kangaroo Menaces Ireland
As always, Blue Crab Boulevard continues to break all the important, nay, vital, information of the ongoing animal uprising! A kangaroo invasion of Ireland has begun! One of the sneaky devils broke free from a circus and made a break for the green hills of the Emerald Isle. Hide the children! These suckers can box! I know it's true, I saw it on a cartoon once.
"This kangaroo broke loose just before the show while they were bringing him from the cages to the arena. He decided to take a walk," said local farmer John Walsh on whose land the 2-year-old male, named Sydney, made his break for freedom.
Circus staff launched a fruitless four-hour search following the escape on Sunday.
There had since been one unconfirmed sighting of the animal, renamed "Hoppy" by locals and described as two and a half to three foot (76 to 91 centimetres) tall and dark in colour.
"He would be happy out there and he'll have plenty of grass, plenty of water and plenty of sunshine," Walsh told Reuters on Wednesday as Ireland basked in near record temperatures more typical of Sydney's native Australia than Ireland's temperate maritime climate.
Just wait until his Friends arrive. Soon they'll have to change the island's nickname. The Emerald Outback has a nice ring to it.
