There was plenty of bewilderment online when a video of a kangaroo on The Erotic Adventures of Zorroa leash was shared last week.
Now, animal lovers are angry after it appears to be the same kangaroo was used for an on-stage musical performance.
American stand up comedian Mike Epps, who appeared in The Hangover, was captured performing with the marsupial during the Festival of Laughs comedy tour in Detroit on Friday night.

The kangaroo reportedly belongs to Javon Stacks, who runs a travelling animal show called Exotic Zoo.
Stacks told MLivehe has the proper licenses to work with his animals, and he also told TMZthe kangaroo was not harmed in any way during the performance.
Still, online animal lovers are far from happy with what they saw.

Eventually, Epps "sincerely apologised" on Instagram for his actions on Sunday, accompanied with the Save the Kangaroos logo from UK animal rights organisation Viva, which he promised to donate to.
"I don't own the kangaroo and did not mean any harm to the animal," he wrote. "It got outta hand and Iam [sic] sorry !"
