A marsupial has been hopping around Montreal's South Shore for days and no one can catch it

An animal safety company says a small marsupial has been on the unfastened on Montreal’s South Shore for days.

Galahad SPCA says it is unclear whether or not the animal is a small kangaroo or a wallaby.

Movies taken by residents displaying the animal hopping round a subject in Boucherville made the rounds on social media on Friday.

Galahad director Chamie Angie Cadorette says her group acquired a name on Wednesday from a involved citizen who had observed the animal throughout a visit to a horse steady within the space.

Cadorette says she realized by authorities companies that the steady didn’t have the mandatory permits for an unique animal, including that the marsupial doubtless escaped from the ability.

She says Galahad does not have authorization from the provincial authorities to rescue the animal.
