Australian Wildlife Win! (American Capture Fail)
New York state police have been stymied by the antics of Australian criminal mastermind Bandit the wallaroo for the last month, admits online newspaper The Oneida Daily. (via www.news.com.au)
Bandit broke out of his Chittenango cage in April and has remained on the lam, eluding all efforts at capture. Sightings have been made in neighbouring towns, and citizens have been warned not to approach the escaped felon.
Police hopes were raised on Tuesday, and they moved in on what they believed to be the wallaroo, but discovered that their target was in fact a deer, sitting down.
By the way, hi fellow WUers. I've been a long-time forum lurker, now hopefully Australian weird correspondent. Be gentle with me - I've never posted on a "real" website before!

Hi shadowkat! Here's a direct link to to your article. How does a wallaroo get loose in New York, anyway? He's a long way from home!
Thanks for the great post 😊

Welcome, Kat. I too was a long-time lurker, and had never posted on a "real" website before. Gotta watch them wallaroos, they're crafty!

Yes Rachel, I'm in WA (that's not Washington, for the Americans out there).
