The hunt is on for a missing wallaby in Rolesville.

The marsupial, named Sydney, has been on the loose since yesterday after it jumped a fence at the Rolesville Veterinary Hospital.

"Went out there about 20 minutes later and Sydney had jumped the fence," Jennifer Hummel, a vet at the animal hospital, said. "As you can imagine, a wallaby can travel 35 miles an hour and has a pretty powerful jump whenever they're jumping so it's not easy to track a wallaby."

Jackson Taylor is tracking the little guy around this park.

"It's probably gonna be hiding right now and then he'll move a little bit at night," Taylor said.

Sydney probably felt right at home with other squirrels and rabbits that live at the park.

Since Sydney's been on the loose, residents have learned one important thing about nature:
"Never trust that wallaby can't jump high," Hummel said.
