A kangaroo is on the loose in Ireland after running away from a circus near Kinsale. Circus workers searched for the animal for four-hours after the animal escaped on Sunday. Local farmer John Walsh tells Reuters, "This kangaroo broke loose just before the show while they were bringing him from the cages to the arena. He decided to take a walk."

So far there has been one unconfirmed sighting of the 2-year-old male, named Sydney. Locals have taken to calling him "Hoppy." He is two and a half to three feet tall and has a dark coat.

Walsh continues, "He would be happy out there and he'll have plenty of grass, plenty of water and plenty of sunshine."
