Otherwise it would be extremely rare that someone smuggled it into the country...but this is Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have them "Wild Wallabies" in Surrey, England. I saw one on a hunt I was riding in 2000. I kept it to myself until I was asked "Did you see the kangaroo"? Phew I thought it was the SlowGin. True story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a colony of them for many years in the Peak District, first sighted after WW2. Edited May 30 by roo860 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told the ones in Surrey escaped a zoo after a massive storm and thrived. Not quite as bad as rabbits in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
