Kangaroo tracks in our backyard

We see tracks out there in an odd place.  Normally, it is undisturbed and free of foot prints but these seemed rather big tracks, definitely farther apart than humans could manage and  they were in smooth snow - must be kangaroos! I realize that the roo is an animal that lives in Australia, far from central Wisconsin. Right.  I read that the sheriff was doubtful too when fishermen called to report a hippopotamus in the Wisconsin woods but there actually was.  He had escaped from a zoo but the escape hadn't been reported.  Lynn says she thinks a fox could do that but we think we just don't know what our wild rabbits can do when they want.


I could untie my double bow shoe laces, put on a pair of boots, trudge out to the tracks and look straight down into them.  That would provide a better view and would probably settle the question but that is too much trouble.
