- Title Viral Kangaroo 'Chesney' Tracked Down Using Thermal Drone Camera After Escaping Enclosure
- Summary Thermal drone footage shows the moment a kangaroo on the loose was tracked down after escaping from its enclosure. Colton Johnson captured the incredible footage of the viral kangaroo on March 28th in Necedah, Wisconsin. The kangaroo, named Chesney, was scared out of his enclosure at the local petting zoo by some uninvited dogs and ran deep into the woods. Colton’s company, Midwest Aerial Drone Services, was contacted by the owner of the petting zoo to help. With temperatures dropping and Chesney being scared and alone, his owner was anticipating the worst. However, using Colton’s drone, they were able to locate Chesney multiple times to confirm that he was still alive and healthy. The search lasted for more than three days, and they were eventually able to bring Chesney home, thanks to the thermal drone camera.
