Two kangaroos on the loose in Germany

Two kangaroos are on the loose in Germany after escaping with two fallow deer from a petting zoo.

A kangaroo that escaped a petting zoo in south-western Germany was spotted briefly before disappearing again.

Two kangaroos and two fallow deer got out of their enclosures on Tuesday at the animal park in Bretten, about 60km northwest of Stuttgart, said Annika Willig, whose family runs the park.

It was unclear how they managed to escape.

The deer had also made a brief appearance, showing up on Thursday before running off again.

The Willig family suspects that the animals are still nearby.
