Approximately 8 weeks ago, 3 of 4 wallabies in one exhibit died after becoming frightened by stray dogs running along the perimeter fence adjacent to their exhibit . The dogs caused the wallabies to run and deaths were due to heat exhaustion. One wallaby survived and is currently still housed in the exhibit. Wallabies are animals that are known to be easily frightened by predators to such an extent that they may run into objects or run excessively as these animals did . Visual barriers along exhibit fence lines can reduce the chance of this happening and is a part of housing husbandry seen at other facilities. There are bushes in the wallaby exhibit at this facility but there are no other visual barriers along the fence line to prevent the animals from being frightened . Visual barriers to prevent the wallaby from being frightened is needed along the fence line of this exhibit to protect the animal from injury .
