Fox and boar help kangaroos escape
Three kangaroos staged a daring escape from a wildlife park near Frankfurt by going under rather than over the fences - thanks to the work of fox and wild boar accomplices.
Skippy, Jack and Mick made it under the first fence of their enclosure by using a hole dug by a fox, said Michael Hoffmann, assistant head of the Hochwildschutzpark Hunsrück west of Frankfurt.
One got stuck there, but two were brave enough to use a hole dug by a wild boar under the exterior fence to make it to freedom.
One of the kangaroos remained missing on Monday.
Several people nearby have reported seeing the missing kangaroo, but so far he’s managed to stay one jump ahead of zoo officials.
Suggestions that a fox and boar are being questioned in relation to the escape could not be verified.
Amorous bull damages deputy's patrol car
Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a residence on Jade Lane in
Sherwood after callers reported a bull running loose through yards in
the area.
According to the report, a deputy arrived at the home and noticed a
man slapping the bull on the head and leading him across the yard.
The report says the bull then mounted the man and "tried to mate with
him," pinning him between the patrol unit and causing minor damage to
the vehicle.
The bull moose’s mishap Sunday was captured on video and shows Sgt.
Lane Findlay of the Weber County Sheriff’s Office trying to free the
creature’s antlers after getting entangled with the swings.

via YouTube Utah Division of Natural Resources stated swing sets and
volleyball nets are very hazardous for the animals.
The video was taken with Findlay’s cell-phone camera and was first
uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday. The sergeant said he wanted the
encounter filmed just in case the rescue went awry.
“If something happens to me, give this to my wife,” he told the person shooting the video.
