CUDAHY, Wis. — Police in Cudahy reunited a wallaby found running loose near the fence line of a FedEx facility with its owner on Thursday.

The Cudahy Police Department shared a post on Facebook early Thursday morning, July 3, looking for the animal’s owner. They said they received a call about a loose wallaby near Pennsylvania Avenue and International Drive, just a few miles from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.

In a now-deleted post, police advised the owner to contact their non-emergency number to reunite with the animal and said they would need to provide proof of ownership.

Officers eventually captured the animal and took a photo with it at the police station.
