A kangaroo named Sheila caused chaos on Interstate 85 in Alabama yesterday, as the runaway marsupial hopped onto the highway, bringing traffic to a standstill. Sheila had escaped from a nearby wildlife sanctuary and made her way onto the busy interstate, evading authorities and causing quite the spectacle.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as surreal, with drivers slowing down to avoid hitting the free-spirited kangaroo as she hopped along the highway. Police were eventually able to corral Sheila and safely return her to the sanctuary, much to the relief of motorists and onlookers.
The incident highlights the challenges faced by wildlife sanctuaries in managing their animal populations, as well as the importance of proper containment measures. Fortunately, no one was injured during Sheila's jaunt on the interstate, but it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of wild animals.
Sheila may have caused a temporary shutdown of the highway, but her escapade will surely be remembered as a quirky and unexpected moment in Alabama's history.
