Not A Kanga Ruse

Be Thankful For Mall Mercies

Shoppers in Brno, in the Czech Republic, saw a kangaroo hopping around outside a mall. Several people called the police, who initially thought they were hoax calls. After the roo was caught and reclaimed by its owner, officers found the animal had crossed a 3m wide river to get to the mall. The boomer got plenty of attention from curious children - and totally overshadowed Santa Claus.

Give credit where it’s due: Thank you to my colleague, Mike Bruce, for his diligence in bringing this news item to my attention. (And also for agreeing with me when I suggested that the roo, like any true-blue Aussie, was looking for a pub to escape the cold.)
