This has been going on since July. If it is a Wallaby, it seems to be surviving ok.

Question will be when it gets much colder or it becomes a harsh winter. Can it survive through the winter if it is not caught by then?

Wallaby, WALLABY. Mines a Pint thankyou.

Oh and if you see Jack tell him to take his Wallaby back, along the Track. Then tie it down like the Kangaroo.

there are kangeroos on a scottish island if i remember right.

never knew wallabies were in the uk.

Kangaroos can be dangerous, but what about wallabies? They look harmless, but I’m curious if they can kick. I wonder how they got here. They were probably released by someone, but it seems strange.

@Blake

Just looked on Google and they can be dangerous to humans if they feel threatened or fearful.

That's why I suppose they want to catch it if possible.

They are friendlier than kangaroos, but they can still deliver a powerful kick if they feel threatened. I hope they are all safely rounded up; it can't just be one.

Many, many years ago, before @william1984 and  @Chris came along myself and @GrannyPie did a lot of walking/rambling in my home county. We were aware of the wallaby situation but never encountered any.

Once the rural retreat of a powerboat-racing countess, this uninhabited isle is now a slow-travel paradise that's home to Scotland's most exotic mammal.

I remember watching a nature show on TV, where they mentioned this. It wasn't David Attenborough who was narrating it, but someone else. I think this is where, I could have gone on a school trip when I was 16. Some of my year, went to a Scottish island to see them and do outside activities. I didn't like the idea of the time it took to travel, so I never showed interest.

The nature documentary almost made me regret the decision.
