Wallabies are native to Australia but research suggests, external they are increasingly thriving in the wild in the UK.
Helen Pearson, head of animal studies at Suffolk Rural, a college in Otley village which has its own wallabies, said they could survive “quite well” in the UK.
“They all come from Australia,” she said.
“They live in shrubland out there, so as much as you think Australia is quite hot, they cope quite well in our climate. They’re really hardy animals.”
Carter added: “I will certainly look for it again, as it’s not something you would usually see and I would definitely like to find out more.”
