    Wolf 'snatches pet kangaroo' from Belgium home

    • 9 hours ago BBC Europe
    A wolf has reportedly taken a privately owned kangaroo from a family's garden in Balen, north-east Belgium.
    Jan Loos, a wolf expert, was called to the property by the owners and said he had found wolf prints at the scene.
    Mr Loos told AFP the kangaroo is "probably dead" having been eaten by the animal. He said a second kangaroo had also been wounded in the attack.
    Wild wolves used to live in much of continental Europe, but their numbers have been depleted by hunting.
    In recent years, sightings of the animals have been on the increase and in 2018 one was recorded in Belgium for the first time in more than 100 years.

    Tragic on all counts.
    But just about the best example of Forces of Nature
    re-asserting themselves.
    Some may root for wolfie, some for roo who really had no cnance.
    I wonder if there was not a sporting bet behind it all?

    Cheers,
