A unique situation occurred in Waco, Texas, when a kangaroo escaped from a wildlife rescue and made his way to a Texas Roadhouse. The owner of the rescue, along with the police, was quick to give chase. However, it is not the police that people are cheering for; it’s the kangaroo.
The insane part of the story is that this is not the first time the kangaroo named Bingus has escaped. He has been referred to as a “repeat offender.” The Waco police department has shared the video of them in “hop pursuit” of the kangaroo online. In the video, the police and the owner can be seen chasing after Bingus with a net. The situation did not end until he was caught by his tail. The kangaroo had no desire to return home and could be seen attempting to escape capture. The incident is captioned: “This has become roo-tine.” According to the comments on the TikTok video, the kangaroo was allegedly “arrested for evading police.”
An onlooker caught footage of the kangaroo’s runaway attempt in a Texas Roadhouse parking lot. The video shows Bingus hopping away from multiple police cars. The kangaroo chase has inspired creative comments online, such as: “Let’s be honest, this is probably the most interesting thing that’s ever happened in Waco.” Another is not surprised that weird things happen there, saying, “Waco is the Florida of Texas.”
Many Are Loving Texas Kangaroo’s Antics
Many are cheering on the kangaroo, saying, “There go my mascot run kangaroo runnn.” The most creative comments are the ones that took time to be clever, such as one commenter who says, “Oh [expletive], Texas became Australia now.” Another has a serious question: “Jumanji WacoPD rolled the dice and couldn’t catch it… Who’s playing Jumanji?” One comment reads, “At this point, they just be doing anything in Texas.”
Many in the comments claim they live in the neighborhood and caught the chase live. However, many are having fun with the location that the kangaroo chose for his escape. One commenter says, “Bros first stop being Texas Roadhouse when it should’ve been Outback Steakhouse.” Others say he just wanted something to eat: “He must have heard about the rolls and butter.”
Regardless, many are already anticipating his next great escape and continue to root for him.
