The search for the big-tailed red critter began Monday after several "reliable" citizens reported seeing a kangaroo hopping down Highway 151 near Dodgeville. A posse of about a dozen sheriff's deputies and volunteer kangaroo hunters cornered the wily marsupial at a farm Wednesday and took it to a heated pen at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison. Advertisement "It appears in good health and no worse for the wear," zoo director Jim Hubling told the Wisconsin State Journal. A winter storm dumped up to 9 inches of snow in central Wisconsin Wednesday and temperatures were in the 20s. The kangaroo will be quarantined for 30 days while officials try to find out how it got to Wisconsin. No one has reported a missing kangaroo. "I know it didn't escape from Australia," said Iowa County Sheriff Steve Michek.
