MARTINSVILLE, Va. — A Virginia police officer found an unlikely occupant inside a car parked on the side of the road.

WTVR reports that Martinsville Officer Chase Bennett spotted a vehicle on the side of a road last Tuesday and pulled up behind it to check up on the driver. When he approached the vehicle, he was surprised to see a kangaroo inside.

The driver, Laura Steere, told the officer she was OK and that she was checking on her kangaroo, according WDBJ. The officer couldn’t resist snapping a photo with the animal.

“His ears got me the most. His ears were just kinda flopping out,” Officer Bennett said. “Who’s going to say no to seeing a kangaroo?”

Steere said she was on her way home to Infinity Acres Ranch, which is an exotic animal ranch that offers educational programs.
