copycat Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Not far down the road from Ballaugh down to the beach a two wallabies dashed across the road as we were walking down that way yesterday afternoon. One looked alot smaller than the other so we were thinking one was a mother and the other a youngster. By the way, how long does it take them to migrate from Australia?

Do you think they were planning on swimming back to Oz?????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 A load escaped from the Wildlife Park - was it the 70s or 80s? They have formed a colony. Sorry if you already knew this and were just being facetious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copycat Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 I thought it was a mob of wallabies. Sounds right for Ballaugh. BTW - they weren't spotted wallabies - just a plain sort of brown colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smelly Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I have seen them in sulby right near the ginger. I think they tend to be more active at night rather than the daytime. When you have seen a few bouncing about they don't really suprise you the same. I think there has been a few things got lose from the wildlife park. Not seen them escaped gators yet but you might if your lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumsaa Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I saw one bounding down my road on the outskirts of Ramsey so they must get about I thought they were in danger a couple of years ago when we had some bad weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
