"You know how we say ‘no two days in Horry County are the same’? Members of the jury, we present Exhibit K," the department posted on Facebook.

While there is no state law restricting the ownership of a kangaroo, municipalities in South Carolina could have rules preventing residents from owning exotic pets.
