- The farm credited community volunteers — including “some really cool kids and a really cool dad” — with helping secure the animal.
- Monroe Township Police said the wallaby had escaped when an enclosure was left unlocked and was nearly struck by a car Monday near East Malaga Road and South Black Horse Pike.
