In Lewisville, Texas police had to <B>hop to it</B> to catch a kangaroo that fled from a veterinarian's yard. Maynard, the red kangaroo, is now safely back at an animal hospital, after his frolicking chase was caught on videotape by a patrol car's camera. Police joined animal control officers after getting a call about a kangaroo dashing around a neighborhood. The animal was bouncing around as people ran after the 3-foot-tall <B>critter</B>. Maynard, who's being treated for a respiratory ailment, was finally cornered and caught. Dr. Kyle Jones says he took Maynard home for the weekend so the animal could graze and run in the vet's back yard. However, the wooden gate in his backyard blew open and Maynard got out. Since no one was hurt, no charges will be filed against Maynard. </DIV> <DIV align=justify> </DIV> <DIV align=justify><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Questions</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=justify> </DIV> <DIV align=justify>1.
