Judy remarked: “This is a first. I have chased horses and cows in the past, but never a kangaroo.”

It was not the only nappy-wearing kangaroo to escape from its home in the US.

In April last year, nine-month-old Beau escaped through an open back door in Sparta near Nashville, Tennessee.

Todd and Stacey Watson offered a reward to help find their missing kangaroo, as reported by What’s The Jam.

They also launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with the search, which lasted multiple weeks.

It’s unclear if they ever found the missing marsupial.
