littletimmy 71 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well been looking at certain areas at a group of non-native + rare speices(over hear) so i can photograph them and it got me thinking, i've read stories of people catching alsort from not so uncommon these day wild boar to groundhog. I have never caught anything uncommon, but have seen strange things. Once on an invite with the bloke i got my pup of and his mate who is on this site we saw something cat like climb down from a tree and run as fast as a greyhound. Too fast and too big to be a pet. A shame the dogs never got on it sooner Also heard of monkey like creatures not too far away from me but not heard of anyone catching one of these either. So have you had any rare/non-native species? Lets hear your story and prehaps some pictures wether dug to, ran with dogs, shot or caught with any other methods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

droid 11 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Used to be wallabys living near the Roaches in Staffordshire. They were a release from a local collection, I believe. Heard they'd died out a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
