The Detroit Zoo said a 5-month-old wallaby joey is missing.
The zoo said the Joey was last seen around 5 p.m. Saturday and was discovered missing from the Australian Outback Adventure habitat early Sunday morning.
"At his or her age, the joey is just beginning the process of independence by spending time outside the pouch, but still nursing and spending time in the pouch. It is unlikely that the young wallaby can survive an extended amount of time away from the mother. We are reviewing every potential scenario and remain hopeful this joey will be found unharmed."
