Kangaroo on the Loose After Wisconsin Petting Zoo Escape
Sunshine Farm uses drones and public reports to locate Chesney, a 16-month-old kangaroo who escaped after being frightened by aggressive dogs, with warnings to avoid approaching him.
- On Wednesday morning, Chesney, a 16-month-old kangaroo, escaped from Sunshine Farm in Necedah, Wisconsin, about 90 miles northwest of Madison. Owner Debbie Marland reported the animal jumped his 8-foot enclosure at around 11:15 a.m.
- Two unfamiliar hunting dogs approached the enclosure on Marland's property, spooking Chesney. The kangaroo, which usually lives inside the owner's home, subsequently scaled the fence and fled the premises.
- The Juneau County Sheriff issued a BOLO alert, noting Chesney was last seen "bouncing through the area of 23rd & 9th like he's training for the Olympics." Thermal drone technology is assisting the search effort.
- Authorities advise the public not to approach Chesney, who can reach speeds of 20–25 mph and is likely frightened. Marland urged residents to stay calm if they spot him, as loud noises will scare him further.
- Hundreds of community members are aiding the search for Chesney, who serves as a therapy animal and is not accustomed to cold weather. Marland expressed deep gratitude for the community's support during the ongoing effort.
