Why the single quotation marks in the headline?

They discovered a 'kangaroo' suggests that it wasn't an actual kangaroo, but the photo suggests that it was.

It must have swum from Australia! What stamina! :thumbsup:

Reminds me of the escaped rampaging elephant in Honolulu and the shock people experienced when encountering it.

Maybe it was a wallaby, so pending formal identification it was described as a ‘kangaroo’?

it's too big for a wallaby.

it's just a Soi dog with amputated front legs.

Fantastic, but apparently an 'animal lover' doesn't like your joke.

leaving them wondering about the circumstances that led to this unusual sighting.

 

Escaped from Chiang Mai Zoo which is below Doi Suthep?

That would be my guess although I've never been through that zoo. 

 

Otherwise it would be extremely rare that someone smuggled it into the country...but this is Thailand.

We have them "Wild Wallabies" in Surrey,  England. I saw one on a hunt I was riding in 2000. I kept it to myself until I was asked "Did you see the kangaroo"? Phew I thought it was the SlowGin. True story.

There was a colony of them for many years in the Peak District, first sighted after WW2.

Cheers never new that. Was told the ones in Surrey escaped a zoo after a massive storm and thrived. Not quite as bad as rabbits in Australia.

Could be here to learn Muay Thai but got beaten and humiliated by a Kung Fu student and bolted for the airport?
