A wallaby who went missing from the Memphis Zoo amid severe weather was found, according to a Friday statement from the zoo.
The wallaby was reported as lost after his exhibit was flooded, according to a report.
When the Lick Creek flooded the KangaZoo Exhibit, zoo staff were forced to evacuate at least 22 kangaroos and four wallabies, the report noted.

After the animals were taken to a hospital, zoo officials realized one of the wallabies could not be accounted for, according to the report.
The zoo animal was found in a service yard close to Rainbow Lake on the zoo’s property after his tracks were recognized in the area, officials said.
The area is located near the Memphis Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, where an Easter egg hunt is soon to occur.
