A wandering wallaby was captured after hopping into a backyard in this San Bernardino County suburb about 80km east of Los Angeles.
Someone called the police at about 8:30am and said, "Hey, there's a kangaroo jumping down our street," Sergeant Doug Wagner said.
The one meter tall marsupial was captured in a backyard by county animal control officers who grabbed it by the tail. Wagner said it appeared to have been domesticated and did not put up a fight.

A local resident told KTLA-TV the wallaby was a neighbor's pet.
Animal control officials said the animal was not a kangaroo but a similar, smaller animal called a wallaby. Several species of wallabies are native to Australia and New Guinea.
It was to be taken to a shelter until it is claimed by the owner, which Wagner said was unlikely because it probably was smuggled into the area.
"Chances are nobody's going to claim it," he said. "I don't know the law, but you can't even have ferrets so I can't imagine you're allowed to have kangaroos."
If it remains unclaimed, the animal probably will be sent to a zoo, he said. (AP)
一隻流浪的沙袋鼠跳進了距洛杉磯東方八十公里聖博納迪諾郡郊區一間民宅後院。
道格．華格納警官表示，一位民眾在早上八點三十分報警說︰「嘿，有隻袋鼠在街上蹦蹦跳跳。」
這隻一公尺高的有袋動物在這處民宅的後院，被郡的動物保護官從尾巴抓住。華格納指出，這隻沙袋鼠似乎是被人馴養的，而且沒有反抗。
一位居民告訴KTLA-TV電視台，這隻沙袋鼠是一位鄰居的寵物。
動物保護官表示，這隻動物並非袋鼠，而是模樣相似、體型較小的沙袋鼠。許多沙袋鼠品種是澳洲與新幾內亞的土生動物。
華格納認為這隻沙袋鼠在飼主領回之前，不太可能待在收容所；因為牠可能是被走私到當地的。
「可能無人認領，」他說︰「我不清楚法規，但你連雪貂都不能飼養，所以我無法想像你可以獲准養袋鼠。」
他說，假如無人認領，這隻沙袋鼠可能會被送到動物園。 （美聯社/翻譯：賴美君）

The new generation born between 2025 and 2039 has been officially named “Generation Beta,” or simply “Gen Beta.” This generation will be the first to experience a world where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in daily life. Generations are defined by shared cultural, social and historical experiences within a specific time frame. These experiences, often influenced by significant events and technological advancements, shape the values, attitudes and behaviors of each generation. The concept of generations helps us understand how different age groups interact with their environment and contribute to societal changes over time. The previous generational transition from Gen
