Sadly dead on the side of the road. But kangaroos are from austrailia? So what could this be?

When I was a toddler, I was an adventurist type kid. Living with my family in a home on the edge of my maternal grandparents farm in Bucks County, PA., I escaped and took off for grandma's. I raced headlong down the back lane of the farm, as toddlers will do, towards the farm house a half mile +/- away. I was halfway there when, bounding out of a cornfield, came a herd of wild, Pennsylvanian kangaroos! Needless to say, I bounded off in the opposite direction and reported the anomalous siting to anyone who would listen. Now, for fifty some odd years I have been ridiculed for that remarkable report. Most said I had seen a herd of white tail deer, quite common to the area. But I myself have always known in my heart that they were real, tangible kangaroos! How could I be wrong, after all, I was three! There could be no mistaking them ... and to this day I know what I saw ... and now I have more evidence supporting my claim.

All three sightings were on seperate days but all within the past month and all within 1/4 mi. of one another. Im not sure what to make of it. three members of my family saw what they claim as a kangaroo in our hometown in southwestern Pennsylvania.

So many people consider them to be beautiful, graceful creatures, but we consider them to be a pain in the butt! Drive down any highway, and you'll see deer carcasses strewn about the road.

If you can catch an American one, I'd love to see it in the ring, going head-to-head with an Aussie roo ... in full protective head gear of course. Nation vs Nation. It'd be great. Used to see them all the time when I lived in the 'bush' during my younger days. But, now I'm living in the 'big smoke', about the only time I see them is on the side of the highway after they've been hit by a motorist. Sad, but true. They've just become vermin to some people. Just not appreciated anymore. What other country would have one of the animals on its coat of arms also on the menu of some of its restaurants? Kangaroos are reknowned for their boxing prowess.

So, you should get on it once you've finished your biopic on the Lizard Man! ;) I would DIE if I had the chance to see kangaroos in the wild. It's right up there with dolphins and whales for me.

There's a comedy-horror, right there. ;-) A mob of wild kangeroos is a fascinating sight. Apparently at top speed a fully-grown adult can clear well over ten metres in a single bound!
