If they can swim, then I suppose crossing the bay is a possibility. It’s not that wide.

How big’s the bay? Kangaroos have been known to swim some distance - including in the ocean.

I volunteer to interview the sorority sisters.
(all for the sake of science, of course)

I would question the frat guys…
And the sororities for equality’s sake…

Could be an escaped ‘Roo.

There’s also a zoo in Gulf Shores, AL, literally a hop, skip, and jump from Pensacola. But a lone kangaroo crossing the bay unaided and unnoticed is hard to imagine.
Maybe it’s a prank pulled by some guys at the FloraBama roadhouse who grew bored with tossing mullets?

Newland said police have checked to see if anyone is the area has a license to keep exotic animals, but the search has yielded no leads.

duh…I can almost guarantee the parties involved are not going to be legal. Why do you think these things are out and about? Someone(s) did a poor job containing them and now are scared and probably embarrassed to say anything. Although, being a college campus, I wouldn’t put it past anyone to have brought them in as a prank. Maybe they should extend their “ownership” search radius. I can remember getting pretty ingenious with my pranks in college, so I’m thinking that if it is a prank, the ones pulling it might have been willing to “go the extra mile” shall we say.
