WATCH: Are wild wallabies worth it?

Should the Isle of Man get rid of its wild wallabies to protect the environment?

A new video uploaded to YouTube asks if the marsupials, which escaped captivity around 60 years ago, are becoming a problem.

In it, experts say research is desperately needed to determine if the wallabies are an invasive species which damage the ecosystem or the cuddly recluses loved by the public.

The nine-minute film says the population seems to be booming, and the grazing of willow and ivy is affecting other native species.
