A rogue kangaroo boxed its way out of its enclosure in a small German town and set off a chase with baffled emergency responders, the local fire brigade said last Tuesday.
“I must be dreaming,” fire chief Thomas Glatz said when he was alerted by a local resident that a young kangaroo was on the loose in Siegburg town.
The hopping fugitive, whose origin was initially unclear, evaded attempts by the police and the fire brigade to trap it, encircle it or lure it with dog food.

Firefighters were finally able to net the 70cm tall kangaroo unharmed and bring it to a nearby shelter.
It emerged last Tuesday that the animal and a second kangaroo were kept as house pets, named Tequila and Sunrise by their owners.
Siegburg is 25km from Cologne, in the west of Germany.

德國一個小鎮的消防隊上週二表示，當地有一隻兇猛的袋鼠撞倒圍欄後逃脫，傷透腦筋的緊急處理小組展開一場追逐戰。
消防隊接獲當地民眾報案說，有一隻小袋鼠在錫格堡鎮四處亂跑時，隊長湯馬士．葛來茲說：「我一定是在做夢。」
警方和消防隊嘗試了設陷阱、圍捕，和用狗食誘捕等方法，但都讓這隻蹦蹦跳跳的亡命之徒給躲過。大家一開始並不知道這隻袋鼠是從哪裡跑出來的。
最後消防隊員在不傷害牠的情況下，用網子逮到這隻七十公分高的袋鼠，並把牠送到附近一處收留所安置。
整起事件到上週二才明朗化，這隻袋鼠和另一隻袋鼠被飼主當成寵物飼養，並分別取名為塔奇拉和桑萊斯。
錫格堡鎮是德國西部的一個小鎮，距科隆市有二十五公里。

Besides public transport and taxis, do you know any other ways to travel long distances without driving? If carpooling is what comes to your mind, you might have heard of the travel app “BlaBlaCar.” This platform connects drivers with empty seats in their cars with passengers going the same way, allowing travel costs to be shared. BlaBlaCar’s origins can be traced back to the Christmas season of 2003, when Frederic Mazzella was traveling from Paris to his family home in the French countryside. __1__ This observation gave rise to the idea of an online platform to connect drivers and
