There are wallabies on the loose in Bedfordshire (England) too - several generations ago they got loose within and outside Whipsnade Zoo near Dunstable. The ones inside the zoo grounds are fairly tame - they creep up behind you and look to see what you're having for lunch, then bounce away if you get too close. I haven't seen the ones in the countryside, myself, but many people have reported seeing them. Hardy little animals, then. <G> Margery. ============================================ [EMAIL PROTECTED] in North Herts, UK ============================================ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
