Mila, who is just a few weeks old, was last seen in her enclosure with her mother on Wednesday morning.
It’s feared that a tiny albino baby kangaroo that’s gone missing from a zoo in Germany has been stolen.
The rare animal, named Mila, was only born a couple of weeks ago but had fast become a ‘star attraction’ in the Kaiserslautern Zoo in the south west of the country. She was last seen in her cage on Wednesday morning, and wasn’t there when zookeepers closed down operations that night. ‘We’re investigating in all directions,’ police told the dpa agency. ‘We can’t rule out that she was stolen.’Zoo Director Matthias Schmitt issued an appeal to the public for help in tracking down the zoo’s ‘little star’ 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 predator, saying there were no blood traces found anywhere.
But a decline in the number of natural predators has led to an increase in sightings of the white kangaroos roaming around their native Australia.
