A wallaby is currently at large in Berlin, prompting local police to issue a public advisory: keep your distance, but maintain visual contact if spotted. The marsupial, a smaller relative of a kangaroo, was first reported on Sunday morning, meandering through the western Spandau area of the German capital.
Chief Inspector Martin Halweg confirmed on Monday that Berlin police are no longer actively pursuing the animal, as it is not believed to pose an immediate threat to public safety – for now. Officers were initially dispatched after passersby reported the creature on the run, but it eluded capture by darting into a forest, and its trail was subsequently lost.
