Zoo officials at the Heritage Park in Simpsonville South Carolina are grateful that two wallabies named Creed and Sylvester escaped from their cages on Christmas Day.
The good news is that the zoo officials were able to capture Creed quickly but Sylvester had to be tranquilized by the same officials on Friday.
The good news is that both wallabies were not harmed and returned to the petting zoo safe and sound.
I am wondering if the names of the wallabies were named after the characters of the boxing movies that starred Sylvester Stallone.
The officials are trying to find out if the wallabies were released by an employee of the zoo or someone who was a customer somehow managed to get the cages open on purpose.

Most likely foul play since the incident took place on Christmas.

@celticeagle That is true that pranksters come out of the home to play pranks during the holidays.

Perhaps the wallaby was aware of those fires, got scared, and decided to head for the hills,

That is true since some animals do not like to be caught by strangers.

This sounds like foul play, and somebody let them out, as most zoos would be very careful about penning the animals in securely, to stop this type of thing from happening.

I think that is a foul play as well since it was on Christmas day when the incident happened.
