If you live in Montana and have your heart set on owning a fun-loving kangaroo, I hate to break it to you and crush your dreams, but that is not a possibility.

You would think that with all the open land here in Montana, a kangaroo would actually enjoy their freedom just as we do every day.

Who knows, maybe laws will change; but for now, your dreams of owning a kangaroo in the Big Sky State will have to be put on hold.
