Hernando County Deputies Capture Escaped Kangaroo

A four-month-old pet kangaroo caused a stir in Hernando County, Florida, after escaping its home near J.D. Floyd Elementary School on Wednesday. Law enforcement, specifically the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, launched a search for the kangaroo, which was described as wearing a diaper and a blue harness. The kangaroo was last seen hopping towards Plantation Palms before being safely captured in Plantation Estates within an hour of the search beginning. This incident follows a similar escape of a kangaroo in Volusia County earlier this month, which took two weeks to resolve. The sheriff's office has not commented on any potential repercussions for the kangaroo's owner. The whimsical nature of the event captured the attention of local residents and media alike.
