One expert told The Telegraph it was a Bennett's wallaby, a species that lives in the wild in small numbers in this country.

"Highgate Cemetery is a mysterious and wonderful place," zoologist Maurice Melzak told the paper.

"It already has many non-native species, including all sorts of insects and arachnids, grey squirrels, ring-necked parakeets and the occasional muntjak deer.

“So maybe the odd wallaby isn’t such a bizarre notion?”
