Overview
- Rex, a 3-year-old wallaby, got out late Monday after a barn gate was left unlatched, according to Lots of Love Farm owner Ron Layden.
- Videos and eyewitness accounts placed a kangaroo-like animal in the Williamstown Walmart parking lot, with additional tips from nearby neighborhoods including Sicklerville.
- Search efforts now include drones with assistance from a drone pet-locating company as farm staff and local animal welfare workers check leads.
- The public is urged not to chase the animal; anyone who contains him in a secure area should call Lots of Love Farm at 856-728-4188.
- Rex is about three feet tall with a gray coat, socialized to people yet easily startled, able to leap roughly 10 feet and reach high speeds, prompting worries about traffic.
