Baby kangaroo missing from Wisconsin farm

NECEDAH, Wis. -- In Wisconsin, the hunt is on to find a missing baby kangaroo.

The animal's owner said he leaped over the fence at their farm and hopped up the street.

Chesney the kangaroo went missing Wednesday morning around 11:15 a.m.

His owner says he ran away after dogs approached his enclosure and started barking.

"He scaled his enclosure and hopped his fencing and headed towards my driveway and took off down 22nd Street, where we're located out," said Debbie Marland, owner of Sunshine Farm.

Several sightings have been reported, but Marland says he's too fast to catch.

"Twenty miles an hour for them is nothing. And on foot with all the woods that are around here, it was virtually impossible," Marland said.

A drone company and community members are helping out with the search.

Marland says she has treats and his brother, Kenny, on standby in case they spot him.

Marland says Chesney is in fight-or-flight mode, and won't respond well to people approaching him.

If you spot him, take precautions and call authorities.
