Returning to the ancient and long lost marsupial “roo” to it’s natural and historical habitat the Wyoming game and fish released 90 ambassadors of the species to the Big Piney anticline. It’s hoped that the species ability to hop fences will assist in migration.

Speaking to reporters of the Jackson Hole News, large species specialist B. Hugger of the Center for Biological Diversity said she saw no potential conflicts with other non human species. Referencing the biblical ability of the lion to lie down with the lamb Ms. Hugger had little worry the species would simply become dinner for wolves, grizzlies, and cougars.

Citing concerns for species and landscape wide compatibility Ms. Jamie Rappaport Clark of Defenders of (certain kinds of) Wildlife had previously conducted a Feng Shui study using the most advanced and modern scientific methods. Ms. Clark reports the species is “admirably suited to make vast improvements to the lack of water in the area using the proven methods of trophic cascades”, the cascades being the wet part. She suggested everyone watch “Wolves Change Rivers” one more time.

Not everyone was overjoyed with the return of the species to the landscape. Down in Riverton Mr Sheep Dipper, a rancher drinking whiskey at 2PM at the Stockman’s Bar voiced worry over possible cross breeding with the jackalope. “Once one those hip hoppin frakers gets horny all bets are off” stated Mr. Dipper. Sheep also retold the story of the conservation suggestions of the USFS and Sierra Club and their coyote control..

Not sure Kangaroos can survive in the Bitter Cold of Wyoming especially near Big Piney at the steps of the Wind River Range.

So do they taste like chicken?

What a buncha dummaxes.

y'all do realize the Wyoming Kangaroo story was posted 4 days ago, right? What was the date 4 days ago?

I heard this as well Larry. Hopefully theyll reproduce enough to have a huntable population. Kangaroo meat is awesome from what I've heard

To hell with the meat - I want some hides.

I've petted some before and they actually feel like sheep's wool.

Did y'all read the last paragraph? It has to be an April fool's joke.

What r u talkin bout Gomer? There are actual photos.
Here is an article dated in March.

Dubois, Wyo) – The Wyoming Wild Game Department (WWGD) partnering with the Wyoming Migration Initiative (WMI) have released the first of 5 planned batches of 90 Antilopine Kangaroos into the Wyoming outdoors.
Dubbed “Project Sage Hopper” by the WWGD team responsible for evaluating the viability of Wyoming’s habitat for Australian marsupials, it has been in the planning stages for 3 years. The goal is two-fold: Create new and interesting wildlife viewing opportunities for tourists, and in several years, potentially provide additional hunting opportunities.
“Antilopine means ‘antelope-like, so we are interested to see how these kangeroos adapt to Wyoming’s wild landscapes,” WMI Director Matt Kauffman said. “If they start migrating, we’ll be tracking their movements, looking to see how they learn to exploit the sage steppe and the mountains, where they ‘hopover,’ those sorts of things.”

Could also be entertaining.

You guys should know better than to expect verification of crazy claims before them being posted. We gotta call out the nuts regardless of accuracy. Plus there are actual photos (disregard the obvious photoshop in the "actual photos").

Great, I go trolling and idot screws it up.

A) That article is dated April 1, 2017, and

B) The last line of the article says, and I quote, "April Fools"

The article is bogus. They are actually being released in Walker county and Slidell, La.

Did you guys see the size of that rabbit?!?

Yeah, what a buzzkill. That had potential.

Well sumbitch. Had my hopes up I'd be able to shoot one when I'm out there in October.

I actually talking to my wife a couple of weeks ago about getting a kangaroo. 2 places had them for sale I checked into. Texas and Michigan. Wife put an end to it before I took the next steps of checking permits and such. She doesn't know about the Watusi yet. Y'all slung a craving on me.
