On Twitter, a shocking video of kangaroos wandering the streets of West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district has surfaced. Because kangaroos are only found in Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea, many people were taken aback when they saw them on the streets of India. Many people were concerned about how these creatures came to be thousands of kilometres from their natural homes.

The news agency ANI released many photographs of starving kangaroos strolling the streets of Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, leaving locals wondering where they came from.

Many people assumed the creatures had escaped from a zoo, while others said they had been smuggled in.
