Escaped kangaroo finds freedom too hard, hops back to Czech prison (tvpworld.com)

A kangaroo that escaped from a Czech prison last week has hopped back to the facility on its own, abandoning its newfound freedom in a bizarre turn of events.

Despite being underfed, the kangaroo, which had escaped from an open prison in Jiřice, southeast of Prague, is otherwise in good health.

...

Interestingly, the second kangaroo had also escaped at the same time as its counterpart, but decided to forgo its newfound freedom, quickly returning to the prison grounds.

Kangaroos, and other animals such as roosters, rabbits and llamas, have been kept at the prison since 2018.

They were introduced as part of a pilot project aimed at helping inmates approaching the end of their term deal with anger issues.

What did it do to be in prison?

It was innocent but got convicted by a kangaroo court.

Now now, we can’t jump to conclusions.

And to think that if it had only gone a little further, it would have reached Austria
