In the South Australian capital of Adelaide, a kangaroo was spotted bouncing through deserted streets in the centre of the city.

For context, Adelaide isn’t exactly a small town – it’s a coastal city of more than 1.2 million people.

The kangaroo was spotted by South Australia Police. A spokesperson said the marsupial narrowly escaped a road accident, before heading to park land.

“It was quite unique”, - the spokesperson said, adding that it was likely the quiet of Adelaide’s coronavirus lockdown that drew the kangaroo to the city center.

All Australians are required to stay at home except for essential reasons, like buying groceries or seeking medical care. Gatherings are limited to two people in public spaces, and all public outdoor areas, including playgrounds, are closed.
