Page 8 of 24 Wallaby hops into Cornish garden The Beast of Bodmin could have a rival - a wallaby has been spotted making himself at home in the garden of a property in nearby St Breward. Wallabies are well known escapees and experts think there are at least two colonies breeding in the UK. Mark Symonds, who keeps wallabies on his nearby St Endellion farm, said he suspected it was one of his. “One got out,” he said. “We tried to catch it a couple of times. They are a bit difficult to catch. They tend to put their heads down and go.” Basking sharks, wild boar and even a crocodile have been spotted in Cornwall in the past, but no beast has made as many headlines as the elusive Beast of Bodmin. In 1998, a 20-second video was released and was declared by some wild cat experts to be the best evidence yet that big cats roam Bodmin Moor. |
