Wallaby Caught Near Ahaus as Police Seek Owner

Private ownership of wallabies in Germany is allowed only under strict conditions.

In Nordrhein-Westfalen ist ein offenbar entlaufendes Wallaby eingefangen worden. Das kleine Känguru wurde von einem Zeugen in der Nähe von Ahaus entdeckt, wie die Polizei in Borken mitteilte.

Overview

  • The small wallaby, spotted near Ahaus overnight into Thursday, was netted by Borken district police after a witness called it in.
  • A veterinarian treated the animal, and officers then took it to an animal clinic for care.
  • Police have not identified an owner and asked residents for tips at 02861-9000.
  • Investigators have not established how the mini-kangaroo escaped or where it came from.
  • Wallabies are members of the kangaroo family that grow to about 80 centimeters, and German rules allow private keeping only under tight requirements.
