YOUR LIFE IS SHORT WHEN A SLITHERY CREATURE IS HUNGRY
JUST SAYIN
PS HOW U FELL IN THAT WATER? COULDNT MAKE THE LEAP?
The mystery has thickened over a dead wallaby found beside the road to the airport on the remote windswept Scottish island of Islay.
How the female wallaby got there has intrigued the 3400 people who live on the island as the only wildlife normally there stems from the famous whisky distilleries that dot the island.
"It could be an omen before [last night's] second rugby Test against the Wallabies," suggested Islay airport manager Andrew Lindsay, who found the wallaby early on June 8.
"We're famous for our whisky on Islay. A few Aussies have got plastered here over the years, but not wallabies."
Islay is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland, about two hours by ferry from the mainland.
Mr Lindsay called police, who photographed the wallaby before burying it.
At first locals put it down to a prank by someone who ran over a wallaby on the mainland and dumped the carcass when they got to Islay by ferry.
But there is a growing belief that a wallaby could have done a bit of island hopping to reach Islay, with the widest gap a five-kilometre swim across the treacherous Sound of Jura.
Local fishermen say strong currents could have swept the plucky little wallaby south as far as Islay before it came a cropper following a one-sided bout with a car at night.
The nearest wildlife park that has wallabies is at Inveraray at Argyll, 80 kilometres away on the mainland - but they aren't missing any.
There is a large colony at a park in Loch Lomond and over the years many wallabies have escaped parks to make a life in the rugged highlands.
Locals also suggest the wallaby could have dropped from the skies as a passing Qantas plane went overhead.
That theory could be due more to the excellent Laphroaig and Bowmore whiskies.
But local newspaper editor Brian Palmer said two local folk had reported seeing a creature they didn't recognise with a long tail hopping about in the hills in the past two months. They knew it wasn't a sheep as they don't tend to hop an awful lot.
The paper's proprietors are thinking of offering a reward for anyone who can solve the mystery.
The mystery has since been reported as far afield as India, Pakistan, Hilton Head Island and Canada.
