Kangaroo Billy causes excitement: Flight in Memleben successfully ends!

In the Burgenlandkreis, more precisely around Memleben, an unexpected adventure for a Bennett kangaroo occurred on Sunday. The little outlier named Billy caused a lot of excitement when he went on a trip from his home in the adventure park. Uwe Gehrmann, a spokesman for the zoo, confirmed that the kangaroo could be brought back after two and a half hours.

The return action was anything but easy because Billy had moved several kilometers away from the zoo. Most recently he was seen in Bucha, a district of Kaiserpfalz. Many surprised his unusual escape because it rarely happens that a kangaroo travels a distance for such a long distance. But as it turned out, it was the storm that Billy had startled.

The search for Billy

Until Billy could finally be caught, the search was quite adventurous. An employee of the zoo had to mobilize all of his strength to capture the strong animal. In the end, he was able to pack Billy on the tail, which made it possible for him to bring the little outlier into a prepared transport box. A total of five employees worked together to successfully carry out the emergency campaign.

The cause of the escape was a severe branch that had broken off due to the stormy weather and fell against the fence. Billy, who was terrified, took this opportunity and hopped over the 1.80 meter high fence of his enclosure. After this exciting escape, Billy is now spoiled in the kangaroo house of the zoo and has company its two females while recovering from the hardships.

This incident has once again shown the need to make the animals' habitat safe in order to avoid such outliers in the future. Billy's story has contributed to raising awareness of the protection of species protection in the region.
