Overview

• The small kangaroo, likely a wallaby about 80 centimeters tall, was last seen hopping into woodland near Sakrower Kirchstraße by the Havel with no further sightings reported.
• Officers saw the animal on Sunday but failed to catch it, and as of Monday morning it remained at large in the Kladow area.
• Police say they lack professional wildlife-capture tools and will only attempt to seize the animal if it is spotted, using improvised methods such as a blanket or dog snare.
• The owner confirmed the escape of the privately kept animal, and local reporting notes an unconfirmed claim that an unknown person opened the enclosure gate.
• Berlin’s wildlife officer says such species require permits and approved enclosures, cautioning that wild animals are ill-suited as pets and face risks from traffic and inappropriate diet when loose.
