New Minnesota Kangaroo Reports?

Are there new kangaroo reports from Minnesota?
It appears a columnist in that state is hinting at some recent sightings there, but the details given are very vague.
Around Cloquet Pine Knot, Minnesota, according to the Pine Journal, "the phone lines buzzed with people who had either already seen the kangaroo or who wanted to and wanted to know which alfalfa field he was in. The farming area to the west of town quickly filled with families in cars, cruising around slowly, looking for the visiting foreigner. Veterinarians were called by reporters to see if anyone had a pet kangaroo who might have escaped. The zoo is 25 miles away, but it quickly counted noses and couldn’t come up one kangaroo short. The Great Kangaroo Hunt lasted until dark."
Reports of cryptid kangaroos or at least cryptids that look like kangaroos are nothing new for Minnesota, as I write about in Mysterious America.
Any readers have more exacting details on the recent flap of sightings?

I would not be surprised….tons of ‘roos and wallabies kept privately as pets….and if the owner of an escaped one did not have proper local permits or any required USDA permits, I am sure that they would be pretty quiet about the escaped animal.
Could a kangaroo survive a Minnesota winter? Maybe they should set up box traps baited with Fosters. Time to come in from the cold, mate.
