Bizarre search for escaped kangaroo in Denmark
<p>Police in south-east Denmark have appealed for public help to track down a kangaroo that was filmed hopping across a field.</p>
<p>Police said on Facebook that a driver saw the marsupial "hopping around" near Oster Ulslev, a village 16km from the port city of Rodbyhavn where ferries connect to northern Germany.</p>
<p>They said the driver, whom they did not identify, had the presence of mind to film the animal although they acknowledged the three-second video they posted was "short and grainy."</p>
<p>The South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police requested any sightings or information on the animal's whereabouts to be reported using non-emergency number 114.</p>
<p>The kangaroo is not considered to be dangerous and was not reported as missing.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that kangaroos are not common in northern Europe, it is the second time the same police district has reached out for help in finding one: in 2014, a kangaroo escaped from a private animal farm in the same area.</p>
<p>In July 2018, a kangaroo was on the run elsewhere in Denmark for half a day before its owner found it.</p>
