"It was for a birthday party a couple weeks ago," Stacks told the news outlet. "There's not enough room in someone's home to bring a kangaroo, so we stepped outside."

Stacks claimed he had the same licenses as other zoos to work with animals. His website lists the animals he has on show, such as a chinchilla and kinkajou, as well as a crocodile and an iguana.

"Inner city kids' parents don't have enough money to go to the zoo or transportation to go to the zoo," he explained to MLive. "When schools invite us...we perform in the gymnasium. We take 50-60 students every hour and rotate them."

One thing is for sure: This roo is a long, long way from home.
