A wallaby on the loose in Gateshead has been caught and rehomed at a local zoo.
After being treated for a face injury, it was transported to Northumberland College Zoo at Kirkley Hall. It was called shortly before 05:00 on Saturday after the wallaby was captured in a large dog trap set up in a "secluded area".Once sedated, it was transported to a veterinary practice at Birtley where it underwent X-rays and a wound suffered when it had attempted to escape the trap was cleaned and sutured.Teri Charlton, lead medic with Blyth Wildlife Rescue, said it was believed the animal had been "bedding down in someone's garden every night".
