Wallaby

School children and a youth club in Choppy's former home have spent six weeks making films about the out-of-place animal.

The marsupial, who was later named Choppy by his rescuers, was frequently caught on video making himself at home in Chopwell, Gateshead, last month.

The wallaby, which made national headlines after being spotted hopping around Chopwell, is the newest resident at Northumbria College’s zoo at Kirkley Hall.
