Holy Cow! Or not, as the case may be.

I pass some of these freaks occasionally on my commute.

These photos were taken less than 48hrs ago about a mile from my house. Hope I spot it myself.

Do any of you folks have your own local wildlife oddities, or have seen anything strange like this?

I'm no wildlife expert but I don't think that's a cow.

Amazing he can twist round so much that both his heads face towards you

 

[swee'pea99]

A bit like Heather Mills-McCartney then!

Bad Drago! Bad, bad Drago. Go on - onto the naughty step. And stay there till you're sorry.

 

[swee'pea99]

To be honest they were rather boring animals. They didn't do anything, just ate and slept and well errr hopped about a bit.

Apparently they're incredibly dumb animals. I remember reading somewhere about what a nightmare it was filming Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, because unlike, say, dogs, you just cannot get a wallaby to do anything to order. You just have to wait until they do something approximately right, and if necessary re-jig the script around what you've actually managed to catch on film

Who, User ...?

What's the fuss about ? It's a gerbil !


OK I'll grant you it's a f****** BIG gerbil.

Wallaby is lovely - low fat. low cholesterol and quite tender. You need to cook it quickly (as per steak), and a mushroom or red wine sauce goes well with it, or it needs to be long and slow cooking - and you can use a nice porter (chocolate porter is good) or a spicy red wine in the pot.

For those in Cambridgeshire, I can recommend Johnsons of Old Hurst or if you want online dealers, I can recommend Exotic Meats

Lidl was doing kangaroo steaks a little while ago but I missed them at the time. Is wallaby pretty much the same?

I've missed you @colly

Thank you Hill. I've come over all un-nesessarry now.


I'll probably disappear again soon so make the most of it.

Bad Drago! Bad, bad Drago. Go on - onto the naughty step. And stay there till you're sorry.

@Drago looks like you have been banished to the bottom step for a long long time you naughty man

 

[Globalti]

Mmm. I've had all sorts of deer and ostrich in SA but don't think I've had kangaroo or wallaby.

We have a flock of green parakeets in Windsor and they occasionally visit some trees right outside my front door.
