Spectacled bear and wallaby sp. 020817

that looks like a Swamp Wallaby.

Are these free-range at South Lakes? I had assumed their free-range wallabies would be Bennett's Wallabies.
 
This animal was the only one I saw on the day. I assumed it was a Swamp wallaby, but not sure if it is kept in with the bears or just somehow managed to get into their enclosure.

There were Bennett's wallabies in the walk through too.
 
thinking about it, as part of the events surrounding the park recently, wasn't South Lakes supposed to be containing all their free-range animals (lemurs, wallabies, etc) because of the danger of them getting into predator enclosures? Or am I remembering that wrong?
 
Don't remember to be fair. As a regular zoo goer, after the troubles I said I wouldn't go! But we were staying a few miles away, they were charging £5 to get in, and my son went free. Despite trepidation as to what I would find, it surprised me as to how good it was! Although some of their animal combinations were a bit strange, and not sure about things like kangaroos in a walk through?
