10/10 bbc sign this guy up
Feck the BBC Cookie needs a Discovery Channel show.
@Ron Bacon why
LOL
This should be on the bbc not youtube 😂 great vid
that’s what I was thinking!
Feels like the past 2 years of Cookie's animal related vids have built up to this one. Smashed it
What a find! And I’m not talking about your epidemic sound membership! Quality video mate, really well made
Thanks man, means a lot
@@WildlifeWithCookie I've heard there's been a breeding population since they escaped from a zoo in WW2
I've also heard of Rhea's breeding in Germany
leading expert in finding animals
Hi guys, Australian here, wallabies are extremely skittish and usually run away before you get a glimpse of them, they also blend in with the foliage very well and almost become invisible. So props to this guy, seems like you did quite a bit of research for this, good content 👍
Great result, pretty cool you saw Red Squirrels and Whales too,... Scottish Safari!
Scotland is class
GG Cookie and the mrs, What a top bloke, been away from yt for a while and this was the 1st thing recommened, going to watch the previous 2. Always look forward to seeing more from you, again, if you need any help if you are ever in nottinghamshire just give us a shout, i would love to get out and explore.Happy to be the camera man LOL
Glad you enjoyed, hope the other 2 were alright aswell! Thank you
there are a few Scottish specialities that you could add to this series... sea otter, golden Eagle, white-tailed sea Eagle, crested Tit and corn Crake.
in fact rare and interesting birds (like the parakeets) could make for a series all in its self... would need at least a 300mm lens for your camera though.
be interesting to see... i think you could make it work.
Thanks for this comment!! You’re right, there’s so much about. In honesty I probably could’ve made something about the Red Squirrels entirely on their own too. A lot of what you mentioned is super hard to find! Have any ideas where to look?
Thank you Cookie for proving they are still in the country 😊
Seems like they're thriving!
Cookie looks like it, I have a degree in zoology and non-native animals was always a fascinating topic as many of them are not adapted for places like the UK but they thrive here
FairPlay I always like watching your videos! Keep em coming, good luck...
Mate what an incredible hustle. Loved this adventure. My man saw Aussie critter without leaving UK soil. WIN🎆
Mr cook, you smashed it, this was brilliant -- I was feeling for you when you thought you wasn't gonna see them, then boom!!!! Well done absolutely made up I am - was impressed, love Emma, Cornwall xx
Hi Cookie, Just stumbled on your channel and can confirm we have wallabies here in the leafy Surrey countryside they've been spotted and photographed in the Godalming/Hurtmore/Shackleford area along the A3 London to Portsmouth Trunk Rd corridor also nearby in the Bramley/Shalford/Wonersh/Shamley Green areas, I was surprised as anyone to discover this Anyway Cheers
Really enjoyed that
I have no words, literally amazing, I was so glued this entire video and when you found one I literally grinned so hard, fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it! means a lot, thank you :)
Nice one James. Well done! ⭐
This was great! Count me as a fan from across the pond! Awesome work!
big up across the pond!
Great video, really enjoyed it.
You are quality mate, go to an Island where 3 people had spent 3 days and not seen a single Wallaby and you track one down in a few hours! Forest Galante should hire you to find and record the Thylacine.
Someone is angling for a tv job.... Best of luck, dude.
Haha I wish
graham moore same
Surprisingly nice comment. Hope you’re ok mate 😜
Dude thats ace! Congrats on finding them! Amazing job 🤘
Thank you so much 😀 it was surreal
Great video, keep them coming cookie m8
Good evening Cookie,,, so looking forward to this one yayyyyy
That was epic man
Loving the series mate
Mate, great video. Congrats on finding them. I had no idea they were wild in the UK.
If you go searching for an elusive animal again, check out how their vision works. Wallaby’s have excellent eyesight, especially in the blue/green spectrum.
Blue is actually the worst color you could wear to try and get close to them. You may have been able to find them sooner and gotten closer with a different outfit on.
Thanks man! Yeah there are pockets all over.
I didn’t actually know that about their eyesight so that’s really interesting. Thanks for this
Bloody brilliant, yes to you sir!!!
Looking forward to it.
Quality videos mate! Keep them coming
Well done pal grate video role on the next 👍
Thanks 👍 what do you think the next one will be?
Cookies Crocodiles
Wow. Phenomenal watch. You are absolutely Relentless! Shows what can be achieved with perseverance. This brilliant video will propell you even further.

Glad you enjoy it!
Idk how I got here but this deserves more views
Fkin legend. Well done mate
Cookie- la la la Loch Lomond
Me- OooooOOoOoOo ye’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road...
Absolutely brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed! ❤
Thank you so much! One of my favourites this one
Absolutely amazing video, to be honest i didn’t think you would find one, but you proved me wrong. Excellent job👍
Love! You’re super talented at this mate. Keep it up - if there’s any justice you’ll see big success
Ah I appreciate that! Thank you
Looking forward to this can’t wait 😅
Proper class cookie!
thanks mate!
This is quality. Keep them coming mate!

Plenty of them in the south east around Reading and Henley on Thames, Christmas Common
I found this channel yesterday because of looking up the thylocene- I have really enjoyed the content. This is great! You're going to blow up soon.

Cheers mate, appreciate that 😀
Great video throughout suspense humour and factual nice work 👍
Thank you Lingardinho
@@WildlifeWithCookie 👈👈
Think you will find there is a breeding population around the roaches in Staffordshire near to leek .
Amazing! And I agree, a good addition to the wildlife
Thank you! 100%!!
I was so excited when you found one :)
Great to find them well done, I work for zoos and we get calls about wallaby's from time to time with people thinking that there ours it makes me wonder how many there really are in the UK
Thanks! I would guess a couple of hundred in total are knocking about
Awesome video deserves million views
Thanks man, really appreciate it! This is my favourite of the series
Love seeing a local guy to me pursuing the unusual wildlife of our country. Love the videos. I would be targeting places like Brandon, Wappenbury, Ryton woods areas.
Your guy does a great job, he does a load of research before targetting the best location to capture what animal he's looking for...
Wow! Awesome find!
Cheers! Was a fun one
Great video..
Great video! I was hiking the other day and saw wallabies in the Shropshire hills. I couldn't believe at first but there was a hole family of them.
Cheers! And that’s class, where abouts was this specifically? I’m trying to locate English ones to film. If you could message me on Instagram that would be great
@@WildlifeWithCookie yeah no problem.
can’t waittt!!
Enjoyed video
Bro so inspiring hope a conservation effort is going to take place
I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall back in 1980-82. I worked as a mechanic on the base. From time to time we needed parts from other bases and I would sometimes be tasked with taking a truck and driving from our base to others since I knew my way around the country better than most of the others. By the way, one of my off time hobbies was driving around England and visiting many of the zoos and wildlife parks that existed back then.....and there were MANY. I had visited Whipsnade Zoo many times previously. ANYWAY......me and another fellow were in our American Chevy Pickup truck driving down to Oxford to get some parts. We were on a two lane country road and low and behold we turned a curve and there was a field with about 20 Wallabies just grazing away. We stopped and looked at them, they seemed unconcerned with us. I was told later that they were progeny from the many wallabies that roamed Whipsnade...at the time, when you visited Whipsnade Zoo there were free roaming wallabies in the park....just like you might see squirrels here in America in parks. I guess things are a lot more tight in the UK with the exotics, I've since read how many of the parks have closed. Including my fave park in Norfolk, Kilverstone Latin American wildlife park,,,,,I'd visited that place so many times, near Thetford. I met Lady Fisher there.
That’s pretty cool! Whipsnade still has roaming wallabies inside and outside the perimeter. The DWA limits what you can own now but stuff still gets loose 😄
I loved this video 🔥
Well done you two! An amazing quest and result! I know that they exist in Derbyshire. And a couple of years ago I saw a dead one along the A12 in Essex. It was the grey that drew both mine and my passengers' attention. We had passed the usual quota of 'grey' badgers and reddish foxes and muntjacs, but we saw the long tail. I said, 'That was a wallaby!' and the lady with me said 'I was going to say the same thing!'
The Derbyshire ones, are they from the Roaches per chance? My research took me there and after numerous conversations with wildlife trust etc, i've come to the conclusion they aren't there but if you know something I don't, I'm all ears! I'd love to film them in England. Cool about the Essex one too! seems they get about like haha
@@WildlifeWithCookie I read about them years ago on the hills but I don't know exactly where. Wildlife trust could at least fill you in if they were all culled for being non native? Beast from the east perhaps casualties?
@@tonycritcher3419 cull them? 😯🤨😲😦😩😥😡
@@stevehove2648 If they all had to be killed for being a non native species what about most of our deer species, grey squirrels, rabbits, the brown rat....and then so many of the bird species...arachnids etc!. Hopefully the wallabies are still around! Surely not classed a pest species like some of the above.
Have such support for this guy. So much work obviously goes into these and it’s always good vibes aswell. Quit your fucking day job mate this is going places !
Honestly that’s the dream 😂 we’re not there yet tho!
Honestly you’ve stepped up your game with this series, it’s fucking sick mate 🔥
Cheers R kid! I'm missing you on the RUclips scene
Cookie I’m still about, just haven’t had a lot of time since evening back in work 🙃
Cool! How about the Wild Boar in Forest of Dean?
On it 🙂
Brilliant work mate
Thank you!
@@WildlifeWithCookie may be slightly addicted to the series now lol
@@will.2274 new one coming soon!
@@WildlifeWithCookie any hint of what it is? :)
@@will.2274 they’re non-native again. From China, Japan, Korea
There’s a thing called a Wallaroo with is half way between a kangaroo and wallaby, I think they eat flowers but not too sure
Jonathan McGowan wouldve eaten that 😂 another quality video mate
We have take my friends boat out on Loch Lomond went past the island and never noticed it 😂😂
Should go there again! Go up to the summit and search that area :)
The big cat next👌👌👌
Late to the comments, I used to work high way clear up in Shropshire and got sent to remove dead wallabies of the side of the road in the south Shropshire hills
That toawga group would say that’s 100% a tassie tiger 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Wallaby ? " Thanks mate . I'll have a large G & T. " ( tish....boom! )
A few years ago I was living in Sussex, and I was doing some PT for an Australian guy who was a succesful businessman. His house had at least 15 acres of land. After one training session he said to me 'do you wanna see my wallabies?' At first I was a bit shocked, then I realised that he meant what he said. So we went out into his garden and he took me across to a field that must have been around 2 acres or more, with an 8 foot fence all around. Sure enough there were a load of wallabies bouncing around and eating from a trough. I asked him how many there were, but he didn't know, he just said that he had put in 6 or so a few years before, but I could see at least 20 without looking too far. So they must have been quite happy, and they looked very healthy. The point is that if a few manged to escape then he wouldn't have noticed.
Most definitely! That's generally how it happens, escapees from private collections/wildlife parks etc. Interesting story though man! thank you :)
You should do one of these videos for the turtles that live in englands canals!
🙂🙂🙂 on the list 😄
There's leatherback turtles (one of the largest species in the world) which sometimes migrate to Cornwall in the summer too!
@@lucytan8606 what the what????? I’ve not heard of this!
Theres still talks of culling the wallabies on loch lomond because the damage the habit for rare ground nesting species of birds. Hopefully they can be relocated or even better managed with minimal interference
I live in Hampshire and we have a wild emu wondering around it make a good video it been film and has live wild for 5 years
That’s so strange, do you know more about this?
@@WildlifeWithCookie yeah i saw it once driving passed the Odiham RAF base it was in a field and its been seen walk through odiham town as well.
Can you do an episode about coatis in Britain?
It's on my list :)
@@WildlifeWithCookie Oh wow! Really good news! Can't wait to see that episode! I do not regret that I subscribed to your channel!
Was sure I saw a wild one once at Whipsnade Zoo near the Reindeer enclosure before it hopped away into the downs
Quite a few around the Dunstable downs region for sure!
@@WildlifeWithCookie Where they first escaped
@@sheldwardo342 Yeah, all around that region
I saw a couple of wallabies last week whilst walking around the hills and woodland near haslemere in Sussex. Really thought I was tripping honestly and then I did some research and turns out there’s been many sightings over the years. Very strange.
That’s pretty cool, did you manage to get any photos at all?
@@WildlifeWithCookie no Im so annoyed I couldn’t because I broke my phone and I didn’t have one last week and now none of my mates believe me and it’s so frustrating because I know what I saw but ima go back to see if I can find them again and this time with my new phone.
I’ll let you know if I’m successful 🤞
@@jamesbish4679 Yeah let me know! Will be cool to know if there's a population there
How do they survive the winters?
They’re quite robust creatures! I remember where we were was really warm too under the tree coverage so perhaps that might help in winter?
Russell Brand's dog killed one a few months ago. He saved the joey and gave it to wildlife people.
Obviously, someone dressed up!
Do the beast of Bodmin
👏👏👏
There were albino wallabies in Battersea park in London, they were given to the Queen I think for Australia’s bicentennial or some shit, I think they’re descendants , but they won’t get skin cancer living in England at least
Loveeee
Little known fact: there are wallabies in Hawaii.
Where: Kalihi Valley in Honolulu.
When & why: Two wallabies escaped from a private zoo into the valley in 1916.
Today there is a small population of these little guys living up high in the valley. It's my understanding that genetic research has done on these guys and it's been determined that they've undergone some significant genetic changes...sort of evolving into a sub-species. How much of this is true, I'm not sure, but they are in the valley and have been chilling there for over 100 years.
This is like a version of extinct or alive and I personally believe you’re going to find a Tasmanian Tiger
I take big inspiration from that show I can’t lie. Haha maybe, you never know
My cousin saw a wallaby hoping down a road in uckfield, she was go smacked, apparently there a little population of them in ashdown forest
Was this recently? I’d like to explore that!
@@WildlifeWithCookie nah it was about a year ago she saw it, I know a couple of her friends have seen them aswell tho, it be worth exploring ashdown forest beautiful place
@@WildlifeWithCookie people reckon they escaped from a place in uckfield called heaven farm where they have them, there’s also big cat sightings there
@@Rottweiler-life That’s recent enough! I’ve never been so I definitely need to check that out. Thanks for commenting 😄
@@WildlifeWithCookie no problem I like your videos, new subscriber
This video has given me to a flashback to seeing some animal that was furry like a mammal and too big to be a rabbit. Too grey/brown to be a fox. Notikely a deer, as to my knowledge there are no deer populations on that part of the M53 motorway. And at the time I was so puzzled. Would be a shame, but interesting had it been a wallaby.
Possible, there are pockets of them all over the country
@@WildlifeWithCookie despite the sad fact that it was a fairly large animal carcass. Its also quite exciting to think there could be a wallaby population in Merseyside (and probably more realistic than a big cat population)
@@joewood791 Way more realistic than big cats!
@@WildlifeWithCookie big cats are as realistic as aliens and ghosts
Attenborough who?
Ash down Forest
Bean juice
You should grab an air rifle (definitely an FAC! More then 12ftpounds) and start hunting these guys if they are detrimental to the ecosystem? I bet the meat is pretty good! Although they could be totally non-detrimental to the ecosystem in that case let um be free.
Why you didn’t pick the muntjac
It s one of the finest meat and he just got hit by a car
Butchery is a nice skill to have in uk
