Duct taped onto a park utility shed, the sign simply reads: "Missing. Koala Bear `Elvis.' 2 years old. Very friendly, likes dogs," the San Jose Mercury News reported Monday.

"I think everybody's looking for it.” "Definitely not something you see every day around here," said Allen Velton, who saw the poster while walking his dog through the park. It is not entirely clear whether Elvis the Koala is a real missing pet an unusual prank, but calls to the phone number on the flier weren't returned Sunday. The Web Site of the Australian Koala Foundation said it is illegal to keep a koala as a pet anywhere, even in Australia. Still, the sign and a promise of a "hefty reward" if the animal is found, has Saratoga Creek park-goers buzzing.
