Story photo challenge…

So I get to pick the photo for the next story? Is everyone sure they want to that?

Okay...

He only cost 1500 dollarydoos, but Andy The Clown Kangaroo was an instant success.

His owner was an eccentric millionaire and footy team owner from Sydney, NSW named Austin Horatio Svalbard-Hopsinger. He was known for his government-funded monotreme militarization projects, in which platypus were trained to place bombs at miltary bases by freshwater creeks.

But this wasn't "Operation Platyplatoon", it was for entertainment.

First problem was getting the Kangaroo to wear extra floppy shoes, but after some tough training, this was accomplished. Next up was getting him to not attack children. This was done with offering a bouquet of succulent plants, like ferns and mosses.

Sadly or very happily, after 18 months of captivity he escaped into the outback after learning how to unhook the perimeter gate, but not before viciously mauling his owner.

He was never seen again.

I wanted it to be totally random. So courtesy of Random Images here is the next story.
