Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction. The following crazy but true animal stories are evidence of this.

Drunk Birds Cause Traffic Jam
In October of 2016, a massive, mile-long traffic jam amassed on the A2 highway in Australia. The reason? Intoxicated aviators. A large flock of starlings had apparently feasted on a batch of fermented berries. The drunk birds couldn’t fly straight and crashed into cars or stumbled onto the road, flopping about.

Kangaroo Wanted in String of Sexual Assaults
In 2010, police in Australia’s Northern Territory were on the lookout for a large, male kangaroo that is accused of harassing human females. One woman reports that the kangaroo approached her at a car race in a state of obvious sexual arousal, and another says that he followed her around during her morning walk. “I hastened my steps,” said the anonymous woman. “There was no doubt what he wanted, the randy old thing.” (The Week, 5-28-2010, p. 12)
