Honey Bunch, the wallaby who went lacking on the Memphis Zoo after storms handed thru Tennessee this week, has been discovered hiding — just about in undeniable sight.
“It was once a space proper at the back of the showcase … that have been searched more than one instances up to now 36 hours, however he was once camouflaged actually smartly and hidden really well below a bush,” mentioned Jessica Faulk, the zoo’s spokesperson.
A curator took place to look some tracks Friday morning and adopted them to Honey Bunch, Faulk mentioned.
“We suspect he was once there the entire time,” she mentioned.
Honey Bunch was once taken to the zoo’s sanatorium and was once being evaluated through a veterinarian, who gave him a blank invoice of well being, Faulk mentioned.
A creek within the KangaZoo showcase overflowed throughout storms Wednesday night time, and the showcase was once evacuated, with the animals moved to the sanatorium. Honey Bunch and 3 different wallabies will transfer again to the showcase in combination in an afternoon or so most likely, Faulk mentioned.
Honey Bunch is 21 months outdated and some of the biggest of the 4, she mentioned.
Faulk mentioned no person is aware of how he was once ready to get out of the showcase’s fencing however that zoo officers are having a look into it so they may be able to save you it from going down once more.
Memphis police had assisted within the seek for the lacking animal, a smaller relative of the kangaroo.
