DURANGO, Colo. — Oi! Police officers in southern Colorado jumped into action to wrangle a rogue kangaroo that wandered away from its home.

Don't worry — no 'roos were harmed in the exchange, according to the department. The kangaroo was released back to its owner.
You can legally own a red kangaroo, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. However, you must comply with federal, state and local laws.
