A wallaby has been seen on the loose in Belgium just a few hours after another of the same species was captured by Belgian police.

Police HerKo said that a wallaby was loose in the Lipselaan neighbourhood of Herent on Thursday morning, just hours after another wallaby was caught nearby in Korstenberg.

Investigators suspect the wallaby escaped from the same property as the one that was previously captured. According to the police, the marsupials fled after horses trampled the shed that served as their cage.

The captured wallaby will be transported to a nature centre, according to the police, as the nature centre has informed authorities that it cannot properly care for Australian animals.
