Not a cat burglar

In Australia - where else, I suppose - a family suddenly found a kangaroo in its home. Apparently, the large marsupial had, somehow, managed to jump through a window and onto a bed.

A story in itself, perhaps, but the headlines it has generated are downright amazing.

Aftonbladet: "Kangaroo breaks into house with small children".

The Times' is even better: "Terror spree of ninja kangaroo".

Apparently, you were wrong thinking that it was the story of a herbivor with, I'm guessing, some sort of eyesight issue. If anything, it sounds like a highly skilled Japanese covert sexual predator.

The family father said: "When it was all over I had a few scratches on my legs, and there wasn't much left of my underwear."

I wouldn't be surprised if the kangaroo ended up being Gary Glitter in a furry jumpsuit.

So a Kangaroo had made plans to meet up with the children and break into the house? Great communication skills!

Mad ninja skills, sexual predator, linguistic prowess.. It's like the James Bond of kangaroos.
