Hearing that there's a kangaroo on the loose may not be news in Australia, but it is when it's in West Virginia. This one ended up delaying traffic and people were shocked.
Noah Manns snapped photos of the kangaroo that slowed traffic on Mud Fork Road in Verdunville, Logan County, during his Friday morning commute.
"I was driving to work, and we had five cars in front of us that stopped in the middle of the road," Manns told WVVA-TV. "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."
He posted his photos of the marsupial to Facebook.
"Of all things, what is a full grown kangaroo doing running around the streets?" he wrote. Turns out the marsupial was friendly.
Manns said he contacted a friend who was able to speak to the owners of the kangaroo, who have owned the pet since it was a baby.
The kangaroo was safely returned home.
