Noah Manns was one on his way to work in Verdunville West Virginia last Friday when he saw a large kangaroo in the middle of Mud Fork Road that blocked traffic for a while. Noah did not call the police to report the kangaroo since he decided to contact a friend who was able to have a chat with the owners of the kangaroo who has had the kangaroo since the animal was a baby. The good news is that the owner of the kangaroo did reunite with his pet which is legal to have in West Virginia as a pet. It is odd for a pet owner to have a kangaroo as a pet since I can understand a pet owner having a goat, cat or dog as a companion but not a kangaroo. Link is upi.com/7801724079006 via @upi

I'm glad the kangaroo is alright. These animals are getting themselves into trouble.

I have had dogs and cats as pets in the past but a kangaroo is off of my list of pets to have.

That is certainly a full size kangaroo. He would make a big dent in a car.

That is true since I understand that kangaroos are tough animals to deal with in the first place with their fighting skils.

You are right since Noah did not want the pet to be harmed.

A kangaroo on a road is a recipe for a disaster, as if it is hit, the car will be likely a write-off, from the damage caused. The owner should more properly pen his critter.

You are right since kangaroos can be hit by an auto by accident.
