Quirky traffic control on the Autobahn 3 near Würzburg: police officers checked on Wednesday evening a vehicle in which a kangaroo was traveling.

The 62-year-old motorist said he was a veterinarian and bought the 50-centimeter Bennett kangaroo to bring it to the Czech Republic. As the officers then inspected the car more closely, there was the next surprise.

The kangaroo was not alone

In addition to the kangaroo were also two Western Siberian owls, six barnacle geese and ten ducks housed in the car, said a spokesman for the traffic police inspection Würzburg-Biebelried on Thursday.

The driver was noticed because of his unsafe driving style. Because the man could not provide any documents for the animals, the officials made sure they were on a highway parking lot. Passengers spent the night in boxes at a traffic police inspection, the spokesman said. You are fine.
