QUIRKY WORLD... Facebook Wallaby seller not to police’s liking

A man is facing charges after he allegedly attempted to sell a baby wallaby on Facebook, attracting bids as high as Aus$10,000 before he was caught, officials said.

The marsupial was rescued by Western Australia’s Department of Parks and Wildlife after an officer posing as a potential buyer met the man in a car park in Broome, in the state’s north.
