Videos taken by residents showing the animal hopping around a field in Boucherville, Que., made the rounds on social media on Friday.

Galahad director Chamie Angie Cadorette says her organization received a call on Wednesday from a concerned citizen who had noticed the animal during a trip to a horse stable in the area.

Cadorette says she learned through government agencies that the stable did not have the necessary permits for an exotic animal, adding that the marsupial likely escaped from the facility.

She says Galahad doesn’t have authorization from the provincial government to rescue the animal.
