It started when Cleveland-based TV journo, Scott Taylor, tweeted about a kangaroo on the loose in North Ridgeville, Ohio - not far from Cleveland.

Dellavedova, Cleveland's Austalian guard, was apparently inundated with tweets asking him if the escaped marsupial was his pet.
The 25-year-old year-old responded with this brilliant tweet to calm the masses.
Thanks for the tweets of concern but this is not my pet kangaroo https://t.co/FYly2ptldU

For the record, the Kangaroo, named Foster, was found safe and returned to a rescue farm.
