A kangaroo has been seen roaming free in Tuscaloosa County, and local authorities and a zoo are working together to find and trap it.

According to investigators, the kangaroo did not flee Bigham Farms and Exotics. The sheriff’s office is attempting to identify the owner of the animal.

Deputy Martha Hocutt advised a US news outlet, “Do not try to approach it.”

“These are wild animals; these are not the cute little fuzzies. They can hurt you; kangaroos can hurt you. We don’t know what food and water source he has had, so that can make him a little more dangerous.”
