Charlie Sorce has a love of exotic animals. He legally owns a camel, zebra, emus, various sized horses, donkeys, goats, and plenty of other animals from across the globe.

Now, he can add a missing wallaby to that list.

"He's not harmful," said Sorce. "He won't hurt anybody. If they can catch him, just grab him by the tail."

Sorce owns two other wallabies - one albino, and one brown that looks similar to the missing marsupial.

He says the escaped wallaby got out earlier this week, and the community has been on the lookout ever since.

"The wallaby was was in a pen here like this," said Sorce, gesturing to the wallaby pen that he stood in.

"He got out of the gate and started running around and went out another gate and went out in the pasture and went up the road. I guess he looking for stretch his legs."

Sorce says the wallaby has been spotted near New York State Route 430, East of Findley Lake.

Kelly Thornton, owner and operator of the Sherman, NY animal shelter, Small Town Shelter, has been helping to get the word out about the missing wallaby through her shelter's Facebook page.

"Well, it wasn't so crazy for me [to hear about the wallaby] because I knew that they were out here," said Thornton. "It was more people's responses to the fact that there was a wallaby on the loose."

But Sorce feels confident that his wallaby will be found.

"Somebody will see them and they'll call us," he continued.

"He'll go in someone's barn or someone's garage or something. They'll close the door, and lock them in there and they'll call me up because everybody around here knows everybody; and we'll probably get him back. If not, oh well. He's going to live a cold winter, but he won't. He'll find it someplace warm. So I'm sure he'll go into somebody's building."
