"A kangaroo is on the loose in South Florida, officials said on Tuesday.  (iStock)



Floridians received a surprise on Tuesday when a kangaroo was spotted hopping the streets of Palm Beach County.



The 5-year-old kangaroo, named Storm, somehow escaped from an animal sanctuary in Jupiter Farms, The Palm Beach Post reported.



Owner Eric Westergard told the news outlet he wasn't sure how Storm — one of six kangaroos he owns — got out, but said "sometimes they get spooked."



Florida Fish and Wildlife Conversation Commission (FWC), volunteers from the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary and Florida Highway Patrol are all reportedly searching for the kangaroo, which was first reported missing around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.



FWC spokesperson Tyson Matthews said that [size=200]since kangaroos are nocturnal[/size], investigators might have to search for Storm into the night."

I didn't know they were nocturnal!!!



And neither do they, apparently, as they seem pretty active during our daytime.



Perhaps that roo is tuned into Australian time and thinks day is night in the US.

Maybe they work shifts in Florida.

Although many kangaroos are catagorized as nocturnal, most are actually diurnal. This means that they are active during the day. Kangaroos are most active before sunrise and sunset but it is not uncommon to find them out during the day as well. Natives to Australia, many nocturnal and diurnal kangaroos still reside there. Species such as the Red Kangaroo and Tree Kangaroo are mainly nocturnal whereas the Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroo are mainly diurnal.

I've just driven through some back roads. Plenty of roos there, enjoying the sunshine.

They're active in the daytime here in regional Victoria as well as dusk, dawn, and anywhere in between. Near the bigger cities, they hide out in the daytime. They always struck me as dumb creatures but now I reckon they can learn.

They usually aren't solitary animals are they?

[Frood]

They can be and they aren't. Most of the time they are in small groups or solo but then they get into huge packs a hundred strong or more and you expect to get hit no matter how slow you go.
