The Independent • • world
Key Points:
- Chesney, a kangaroo from Sunshine Farm petting zoo in Necedah, Wisconsin, escaped from his enclosure and has been missing since Wednesday noon, prompting a search by his owner and local authorities.
- The kangaroo was last seen near 23rd & 9th streets and is currently without his diaper, making him blend into the woods and harder to spot.
- Authorities caution the public to be careful around Chesney, who is likely scared, and advise against provoking him, especially with boxing-like challenges.
- Owning a kangaroo is legal in Wisconsin, and the petting zoo has shared photos of Chesney and other animals on social media to aid in the search.
- This incident is reminiscent of a similar escape by a kangaroo named Sheila in Alabama last year, who was safely recaptured after being spotted near a highway.
