Escaped Kangaroo Eludes Capture in Wisconsin Search

Officials urge reports of sightings, not pursuit.

Overview

  • Chesney, which fled Wednesday morning after a dog spooked him, remains at large around Necedah in Juneau County.
  • A drone team using thermal cameras spotted him around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and could not catch him.
  • Residents reported new sightings Thursday near Seventh Street and 23rd Avenue as hundreds of volunteers joined the search with law enforcement.
  • Sunshine Farm and the sheriff’s office say he is fast but not aggressive and ask anyone who sees him to call Sunshine Farm at 773-682-8042.
  • The 16-month-old pet often visits nursing homes, and interest has surged online after photos showed him in denim pants, though caretakers say he escaped without the diaper.
