Police in the UK say they are not looking for a kangaroo after all - it is actually a wallaby on the loose.
Officers - who were given the wrong information about the marsupial, having initially sought the public's help in finding the owners of a lost 'kangaroo' - say they have no idea where it came from.

The animal was first seen outside a house in the Dursley area of Gloucestershire last night, but managed to hop over a wall.
Local police kept the public informed with a number of pun-heavy tweets about the incident, before the wallaby managed to escape:
Kangaroo update - we have it cornered 'outback' of a house in Woodmancote but no owner identified yet.

Not the usual bouncers that we're interacting with on a Saturday night
