The hunt is on for an escaped kangaroo in Jupiter Farms, Florida.

Storm the five-year-old kangaroo was discovered to be missing from his Jupiter Farms-based animal sanctuary Tuesday morning.

Owner Eric Westergard told Palm Beach Post that he didn't know how it escaped but “sometimes they get spooked.”

"After dropping my son off at his bus stop in Jupiter Farms, Florida, I looked up before I turned into my driveway and saw a silhouette of something jumping," said filmer Denise Cooper.

"I turned my car into my drive and saw it was a kangaroo hopping down the road," she added. "I quickly got my phone and recorded it."

"Helicopters were overhead, Wildlife Commission everywhere."
