A police officer stated that they sometimes spot kangaroos in the suburbs but never in the centre of the city. The city is usually bustling with cars. But the kangaroo seemed to have a lovely time, hopping as fast it could along the empty streets, which was really amusing for netizens. Across the world, reports have accumulated about wildlife entering commercial and urban areas due to the weeks-long pandemic shutdown.
