Feral Wallaby-populations

Very interesting,I had heard about these Wallabys,but had never seen anything about them.I believe its now believed the Wallabys in the Peak District,are now considered to be extinct,I think its about 10 years since any have been seen,I know its longer than that since I last saw any!
 
same, I'd heard of them but nothing else about them to the best of my recollection.

I liked this bit of the article:
"This was in keeping with his father – my great-grandfather – Cecil’s love of natural history and island ecologies, which led to him attempting to introduce all sorts of extraordinary species onto the island including giant rheas (similar to ostrich and emus), mouflon sheep (an ancestor of modern breeds), kinkajou (a rainforest animal similar in appearance to a ferret), peacocks and many more,” she said."

Imagine trying to introduce kinkajous to an Irish island covered in grassland!

I'm guessing kinkajous didn't work then?
