Marana petting zoo still looking for kangaroo, other animals after storm [View all]
Ghost Ranch Exotics, a private petting zoo in Marana, is looking for a set of marsupials and two African crested porcupines after high winds tore through in Friday evening's storm, leaving a trail of destruction.
"Currently, we're missing our only kangaroo, a capybara, and two African crested porcupines," said co-owner Geordi Davisson.
"We can't imagine they've gone too far, but in this heat, they're hunkered down in shady spots, looking for water and hiding from the sun," Davisson said. "It's hard to look for animals that are the color of the desert."
The owners ask that anyone who comes upon one of the missing animals call animal control and contact Ghost Ranch Exotics at 520-276-4469.
