A kangaroo is on the loose and has been spotted in forests and meadows in Austria, police said Monday.
The animal -- not a native to the central European country -- has been seen numerous times since late last week in Hellmonsoedt district in Upper Austria state.
Police, who have identified it to be a kangaroo from photos and videos they received, are trying to find out who the animal belongs to.
"We have called all the zoos and kangaroo breeders around us, but no one is missing a kangaroo. We hope the owner will come forward," a Hellmonsoedt police official, who declined to be named, told AFP.
"It sounds unbelievable, but it's true."
