German wildlife
zoo staff search for kangaroo after animals from neighbouring woods dig holes
under park fences
A kangaroo is on the run in Germany after breaking out of a
wildlife park, with a fox and a wild boar as his suspected accomplices.
Michael
Hoffmann, assistant head of the Hochwildschutzpark
Hunsrück west of Frankfurt, said on Monday the male kangaroo was one of three that escaped overnight on Saturday with the inadvertent help of the menagerie that lives in the local woods.
Hoffmann said
the kangaroos got out of their enclosure after a young fox snuck into the park and dug a hole next to the
cage's fencing. Two of the three were then able to escape the park entirely
through another hole dug by a wild boar under the exterior fence.
"We've got two
of them back; now we're just
looking for the third."
NOTE: Human
beings' arrogance, self-centeredness
and capacity for self-deception never ceases to amaze me. How can the author of this
piece possibly offer with certainty his conclusion that the kangaroo escape was in any way "inadvertent?"
