While not impossible that "wallabies" are found in the UK, they are native
to Australia.

But they make themselves at home almost anywhere. And if
someone brings two wallabies you soon have wallababies. There
is a well-established breeding colony of wallabies near
Waimanalo on the island of Oahu in Hawaii (a startling sight
when driving on the highway), and I've heard of colonies of
escaped wallabeasts in other areas of the world where you
wouldn't think they'd be.

So far, Florida seems to have escaped THIS introduced animal.
