Chesney the kangaroo scales tall fence and flees petting zoo for three days on the lam
Chesney was found healthy after a three-day search involving drones and volunteers who used scent and calm voices to coax him back, farm officials said.
- On Saturday, March 28, searchers located Chesney, a 16-month-old kangaroo who escaped Sunshine Farm in Necedah, Wisconsin, three days earlier after being spooked by stray dogs.
- Thermal drones and community volunteers aided owner Debbie Marland during the search, tracking the animal within a 5-kilometer radius of the farm throughout his ordeal.
- Farm worker Stacy Brereton approached the 40-pound animal on Saturday evening, allowing him to smell familiar scents before she safely scooped him up from the wooded area.
- Chesney appears healthy with no injuries and resumed his routine by napping with his brother, Kenny, who was "very happy to see him," Marland said.
- Helpers traveled from 90 miles away to assist in the search, prompting Marland to install a new mesh enclosure top to prevent future escapes at the petting zoo.
