A red kangaroo and two kinkajous were transported in enclosures that lacked “live animal” or “wild animal” signage and did not have directional arrows or markings indicating the correct upright position of the enclosures. Clear signage and markings are important for proper handling and orientation of crates during transportation. Correct for all future transports by ensuring that the top and one or more sides of exotic animal transport enclosures are marked with the words “Wild Animals” or “Live Animals” in letters at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) high, with arrows or other markings to indicate the correct upright position of the primary enclosure. Correct by 30-September-2023. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with facility representatives. This inspection was conducted in Mount Hope, Ohio.
