Kangaroo Loose In Small Alabama Town
While en route to Tennessee, a kangaroo got loose in Winfield, Ala., and the search continues for the marsupial Tuesday.
WINFIELD, AL — Seeing wildlife while driving through rural Alabama is not unusual. Deer, wild turkey, rabbits and other critters are common in the state. However, driving through Winfield, Ala., and seeing a kangaroo hopping along the road is a rather unexpected event.
A WBRC report said a kangaroo named Jack got loose in Winfield when Braxton Basinger stopped on his way to Tennessee where he and his crew were taking the animal.
