Apparently it's not a kangaroo - it's a wallaby.

(a wallaby is just someone who really wants to be a kangaroo)

Seems to be a Wallaby but it won't stand a chance if the Lynx comes across it.

Tony ‘Doc’ Shiels reported claims of a lynx in Co. Cork

We had wallabies free ranging and breeding in the UK

These are the ones we used to see

But many other colonies exist

Maybe one stowed away. ...

Be in the pot soon I reckon- east Cork hungry whures

branie2 · 21-07-2019 10:44AM

Boing! Boing! Boing!

Mickeroo · 21-07-2019 10:46AM

Presumably a Fota escapee.

blinding · 21-07-2019 10:46AM

Bung Bung Bung = Irish Political Kangaroo .

Apparently not. Fota have claimed they've accounted for all of there's.

Coincidently, I finally got round to reading Jurassic Park last week. This is exactly how the book begins... except with kangaroos here. I can only presume carnage will now follow.

namenotavailablE · 21-07-2019 10:52AM

Probably looking for directions to Skippereen

This is an Omen that FF are back. Don’t Kangaroos have a slot for Brown Envelopes ?

Go straight through Leap.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 21-07-2019 01:03PM

There are many parks and 'pet' farms around the country that have wallaby. It could be from several in Cork.

ofcork · 21-07-2019 01:43PM

Hosfords closed 4 or 5 years ago.

oh OK; was many years I traded there...Is he OK? Good man ..lovely place ..

Phileas Frog · 21-07-2019 03:08PM

I think people need to look at a map if they think an escaped Wallaby from either Bandon or Fota ended up in Kilworth...

Those critters can travel and no indication as to how long it has been liberated..

It could be one of those stealth wallaby, travelling at night and using the hidden 'underground' routes through Cork. Or lots of people have seen it in the weeks it has been browsing it's way across the county but all thought it was a large hare.

The hell kind of hares do they have in Cork?

Whoosh!!!!

Huge ones. With longer tails than the usual Irish Mountain Hare. :rolleyes:

It's the only explanation of how this Wallaby could have covered any significant distance and been at large for any length of time without being reported.

Wallaby don't cover great distances the way Kangaroos do, so it is more than likely from close by. They're a cure to catch once they get out though. In 2012 they had to dart two that escaped in Antrim.

blinding · 21-07-2019 03:46PM

Is this some sort of moving statue phenomenon ?

Spotted at the Open this afternoon

Cork Kangaroo.
