KENOSHA, WI (WSAU) A kangaroo escaped from a Kenosha County farm.
The marsupial named Joey broke free from his pen Thursday morning at Jerry Smith’s Farm, which operates as a petting zoo and pumpkin patch, in Kenosha. The kangaroo wandered west into Somers along County Road L before it was safely returned to the farm.
The animal may have escaped by kicking in the door to its pen.
Firefighters were able to surround the kangaroo until his handler arrived. No one was injured.
