Sightings of mystery wallaby on the loose on Norfolk-Suffolk border
Have you spotted this runaway wallaby?
- A wallaby has been spotted running loose in the countryside on the Norfolk and Suffolk border, leading to a police appeal.
- The first sighting occurred on Monday in Ilketshall St Andrew, with a second report a day later in Wisset, about seven miles away.
- Suffolk Constabulary has urged anyone who sees the wallaby to contact them or the RSPCA.
- It is currently unclear if the wallaby is an escapee or part of Britain's wild wallaby population, as no local animal sanctuaries have reported it missing.
- Wild wallabies are not uncommon in the UK, with established colonies existing in Scotland and a large population on the Isle of Man.
