For kangaroo, flight is a short hop

Paul Heymont 1/20/212:00 PM

Yes, that's a kangaroo in the aisle of an American Airlines regional jet. And no, he's not an out-of-control emotional support animal.

Harry is a joey, a baby kangaroo, and was traveling on a flight of his own, accompanied only by his handler, who was helping him relocate from Charlotte, North Carolina to Newport News, Virginia as part of a wildlife conservation project.

The video below was posted by an American Airlines flight attendant, who must, at some point, have been reminded of the old song "Tie me kangaroo down, mate!"
