CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N.Y. — A wallaby is apparently hopping free somewhere in western New York.
A hobby farmer in Chautauqua County said he was searching the area for the marsupial, the Erie Times-News reported.
Charlie Sorce owns several wallabies, along with some goats, according to a Facebook post by Small Time Shelter, Inc., in Sherman, New York.
Sorce is offering a reward for the wallaby’s capture.
According to the animal shelter, owning a wallaby is legal in the state of New York, the Times-News reported. The wallaby was last seen hopping down State Road 430 in Chautauqua County.
