Searching for the Isle of Man's wild wallabies

A pair of the Australian marsupials escaped from a wildlife park on the Isle of Man four decades ago and now dozens of their descendants are now thriving in the wild there.
The BBC's Jacey Normand went on the trail of the Manx wallaby.

It's a little weird that the locals don't know about it

[@ballconei4879]

There are some in Norfolk too.

[@stevehove2648]

They are all over. Cool, but certainly not news. They've been around for decades.

​@stevehove2648 the more they breed, the more common they become so it makes sense that they are being talked about more now
