A wallaroo, an animal similar to a kangaroo, was on the loose in Peru today. Police Chief Doug Bernabei says the animal appears to be a legally owned pet that got away from its owner. For two hours, it hopped through neighborhoods, along busy highways, and then even went into the Illinois River. Fishers going by on a boat pulled “Wally” out. Police took him to a veterinary clinic where he was doing well.
