    A kangaroo that had been on the loose in Ontario, Canada, has been captured after an eventful few days. The marsupial had escaped its handlers during a rest stop while being transported to a zoo in Quebec. The escape sparked a four-day search and rescue mission, which ended with the kangaroo being found and captured by police officers. The capture was not without incident, as the kangaroo punched one of the officers in the face during the apprehension. However, the officer was not seriously injured.

    Kangaroos are known to defend themselves by kicking, but they can also grapple and punch with their upper arms or forearms. This behavior was on full display during the capture, leading to the unusual incident of the officer being punched. After the capture, the kangaroo was taken to the Oshawa Zoo, where it will be hosted temporarily as it recovers from its adventure. The park supervisor expressed relief at the successful capture and stated that the kangaroo will now be able to rest and enjoy a nice meal.

    The province of Ontario will investigate how the kangaroo managed to escape in the first place. Wildlife advocates are calling for better regulations around captive wildlife to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. The kangaroo will stay at the Oshawa Zoo until it is deemed ready to continue its journey to the zoo in Quebec.
