Thats a big if - most would end up as bird food.

[angelrose]

I haven't even read the link so i shouldn't really comment but i have to ask what makes a wallaby more important than any native bird?Not having a shot just curious is all?

 

[dobermanmick]

I dont think any animal is more important then the others , they all have their place in the food chain .
I just think people have preferences for different types of animals just like we love our reptiles .

There is a number of points left unsaid in the article, namely that they must have kept the Olive for a while, a very gravid girl would be very unlikely to try and tackle a large mammal. At best it would have been in the early stages. So the likely sequence of events are that the animal was captured, identified as gravid ( or mated ) and kept until the eggs were laid ( then released? The article doesn't say. ) and the eggs incubated with most of the young released.
