At first Martin Helmstedt thought he was being pranked by local youths but realised the kangaroo was real and very much alive after he almost tripped over it whilst walking in a field of corn in St. Oswald bei Haslach.

The kangaroo hopped off and then sat looking at him from a distance of around ten metres, he said, adding that it seemed very tame.

A team from Radio Upper Austria then made enquiries with the local police and fire departments but nobody had reported a runaway kangaroo and no marsupials are missing from the local zoo.

Maybe the kangaroo is dyslexic, and couldn't tell Austria from Australia.
I wouldn't want to pour cold water on the ironic narrative (aside: yes, i would) but it looks more like a wallaby, to me :-D
