Couple find kangaroo on roof

An Eastern Grey kangaroo has landed on the roof of a couple's home in Melbourne.

While many can turn-up in back-yards and swimming pools, this one managed to hop a little higher.

Trent and Bronwyn Duggan heard a loud crash yesterday morning, shortly before they discovered the 35kg male kangaroo. It had jumped some three metres and looked lost and confused.

"It sort of sounded like three grown men line dancing on the top of my roof," Mr Duggan said.

The 'roo was stranded for six hours, too afraid to jump down.

Wildlife expert Sharon Bonnici eventually came to the rescue, with a tranquiliser gun, and encouraged him down.
