An Albino Baby Kangaroo Is Missing From A Zoo In Germany, Authorities Feel It May Be Stolen

A small albino baby kangaroo is missing from a German zoo and authorities said that she may have been stolen, according to AP.

Mila was born in July at the Kaiserslautern zoo in southwestern Germany. She was a star attraction. She was last seen in her cage on August 19. But she could not be found when zookeepers closed down operations, police told dpa news agency.

¡°We¡¯re investigating in all directions. We can¡¯t rule out that she was stolen,¡± said the police.

Zoo Director Matthias Schmitt issued an appeal to the public for help in tracking down the baby, who was seldom far from her mother¡¯s side. He issued a photo of both together with Mila peering out of her mother¡¯s pouch.

Schmitt said it seems unlikely that the small marsupial was snatched by a wild fox or other predators, saying there were no blood traces found anywhere.

The zoo has employed two hunters with dogs to search for the kangaroo, but so far they have had no success.

¡°The whole team at the zoo is hoping Mila will be found again and is in good health,¡± he said.
