LOGAN COUNTY, W.Va. (WVVA) - A family’s pet kangaroo was on the loose in Logan County this morning.
The kangaroo slowed traffic on Mud Fork Road in Verdunville according to one of the drivers on his way to work.
“I was driving to work, and we had five cars in front of us that stopped in the middle of the road,” said Noah Manns. " I was trying to look around and see what the holdup was, and when I was able to get into view, I saw a kangaroo hopping up the road.”
When the kangaroo had finally moved off the road, Manns was able to get photos of it.
Manns did not contact law enforcement because he knew the owners, who had bought the animal as a baby.
“I called my friend, and she immediately got ahold of the owners,” said Manns.
The kangaroo was caught and is now back home with its family.
