Runaway Swiss wallaby reunited with owner
The newspaper Blick published a short video of the marsupial (originally thought to be a kangaroo) near the edge of a woodland near a youth camp in Dietwil, a village between Lucerne and lake Zug in central Switzerland.
Investigations later led to the marsupial’s owner being located in the nearby canton of Lucerne. According to Blick, the owner is a licensed wallaby farm.
The large animal rescue service of neighbouring canton Aargau managed to capture the wallaby.
This was announced by the press office of the Aargau Department of Health and Social Affairs, responsible for animal welfare, confirming similar reports circulated by various media outlets.
