The fire department and police responded to information from residents. The search for the animal was unsuccessful – but it reminds us of a past incident.
Firefighters and police went to Falkensee near Berlin to search for a suspected kangaroo. A resident reported a sighting of a marsupial jumping, a police spokesman said.
Emergency services also searched the forest, but found no evidence of the animal. “There are no kangaroos missing anywhere,” a police spokesman said. There are no confirmed facts for the reported observations.
The “Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung” has reported on the operation. In the summer of 2023, a similar situation in Kleinmachnow caused a stir. At the time, emergency services were searching for a creature thought to be a lioness, which later turned out to be a wild boar. In Berlin’s Kladow district in late September, a kangaroo managed to escape and was recaptured after a few days.
