It's not the first time there's been reports of this kind of animal seen bouncing around the area. Two years ago, one was seen in the Slieverue area.

In 2012, one was stolen or escaped from Castlecomer Discovery Park. Geansai was being cared for at the Castlecomer Discovery Park when he disappeared along with his older brother Skippy.
