A dog walker was surprised to see a wallaby while walking along a farm track in Kent. Alex Pooley, 29, was also able to film the wallaby on her mobile phone, although where the animal came from is still a mystery. Commenting, Ms Pooley said that "I was a bit surprised to say the least and the dog was off the lead at the time and he went off to investigate. They ran around for a couple of minutes and then he came back and I put him on the lead. Then I saw it hopping down the path towards us. It seemed pretty friendly and quite intrigued because it came right up to us." 

 A six-week-old Californian Condor chick has been given its very first veterinary check up at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The chick, named Saticoy, was given a vaccination for the West Nile Virus and microchipped before a blood sample was taken for analysis to determine its gender. Interest in the chick's health is high because the critically endangered Californian Condor (adult pictured) numbers only 386 specimens and twenty thousand people watched the chick's birth online via Condor Cam on March 10th.
