MONTRÉAL — A Quebec zoo says a red kangaroo is doing well after it was captured after several days on the lam on Montreal’s South Shore.

The Granby Zoo says the animal is eating normally and resting up after four days of bouncing around the fields near Boucherville, Que.

Quebec’s Environment Department confirmed that the animal that was reported loose on Friday was finally captured on Tuesday.

The department says its initial investigation suggests the animal was being kept illegally in facilities that did not comply with Quebec regulations.
