Yes, And we were late last night with the thermal
drones and I mean he covered so much area. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, the thing that we were talking about yesterday is that,
first of all, Rowdy is about five feet tall. Rowdy
is more afraid than anything. But the good news is
Rowdy eats grass and hey, and there's a lot of
farm land out there, so he might have just found
a comfortable area to kind of hole up until mom
(06:09):
comes to the rescue. And maybe a person who's got
a ranch out there isn't aware of all this news
coverage that that you've been getting.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, And I hope, I hope somebody hears sees anything,
and then they just go out and look or check
anything's possible. We just know from the drone, from what
we've seen that he is not within three or four
miles of here from the drones last night.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
But you said that kangaroos don't use scent like dogs, right, correct.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
They don't so, and they get spooked and scared pretty easily.
So it's allowed. You know where you last saw him,
the truck stop, allowed, truck noise turning on or something
could have spooked to me more. And he just went
until he found some comfort, you know. And because it
was a chrisp night or Chris morning.

Yeah, And the thing with that that I learned from you,
kangaroos are nocturnal, so they're doing all their activity at night, sleeping,
dig in a little hole in the dirt to kind
of lay down during the day. And Rowdy has a brother, Rocky,
who is just the sweetest little kangaroo. And Daphne, you
are a room mom. How did you fall in love
(07:17):
with kangaroos?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
We saw one at the Hunter's Extravaganza. Guy was bottlefeed.
It was a baby baby, and I was like, oh
my gosh. So I did my research and you know,
kept asking people and researching and calling the pet ranches,
the exotic pet ranches, and I found one and I
was like, I have to have him. And that was
Rowdy and he was our first one and we just
had through the joy with him.
