June 17 (UPI) — A New York zoo is asking for the public’s help to locate a wallaby that escaped from the property.<\/p>\n

Grace and Glory Animals, an animal education zoo in Oswego, said the wallaby, named Mac, escaped just prior to 6 p.m. on Sunday.\n<\/p>\n

“We believe she has stayed close but is hiding,” the zoo said in a Facebook post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Officials said they are using thermal imaging drones to search for the Australian marsupial, but they have not yet been able to pinpoint Mac’s location, despite sightings in the area.<\/p>\n

The zoo said in a follow-up post<\/a> that Mac is not dangerous, but is skittish and would likely flee if approached by a stranger.<\/p>\n

Anyone who spots the wallaby is being asked to keep a safe distance and contact the zoo to report Mac’s location.<\/p>\n

Officials said Mac does not have a fear of cars, so drivers in the area are being asked to use extra caution on local roads.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 17 (UPI) — A New York zoo is asking for the public’s help to locate a wallaby…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193165,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3847],"tags":[933,46356,46355,70,16,15,1544,1717],"class_list":{"0":"post-193164","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-animals","9":"tag-funny","10":"tag-odd","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-weird","15":"tag-wildlife"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114701807518626001","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
