A bear entered a kangaroo’s enclosure in Florida and is now on the run, prompting authorities to search for the escaped animal.

After a kangaroo was spotted hopping and loose in Volusia, Sheriff Mike Chitwood took to social media to say, “Pearson is hopping.”

“Just when you think you’ve seen it all. Pierson’s town is hopping tonight,” he wrote on X.

The sheriff added a screenshot taken from the “Pierson Community Page” on Facebook that shows a kangaroo hopping along a road.

Chitwood added below the post in a comment stating that the kangaroo reportedly escaped when a bear wandered into its enclosure.

“The kangaroo reportedly escaped due to a bear entering its enclosure. It has not been located yet, but we have been in contact with the owner and are keeping our eyes peeled,” he wrote, as quoted by UPI.

Kangaroos are known to stay close to shelters or homes if they end up escaping, leading a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission official to search for the escaped marsupial, saying the animal is likely near the owner’s property at Pierson.

“I mean, we live in the woods; you see bears, you see deer — you don’t see kangaroos. They’re supposed to be at the zoo,” said a woman who lives in Pierson Fox 35.

“I mean, it’s nice that there’s someone out there who has an exotic animal, you know?” she added.
