Wallabies in England.

When humanity disappeared, it was only them.  They left everything behind.  Skyscrapers sent underwater created coral reefs, and invasive species remained.  One such case was the wallaby in Europe.

Feral wallabies lacked predators and like many invasive species before them were unable to be contained.  Back when humans were around, they would try to stop invasive species like this, but support for getting rid of wallabies never materialised.  In fact, attempts were made to prevent attempts to control them, and so, they survived until after the end of the human species.  They were too cute, and over the years, took over.  The Cornwall Peninsula sheltered them as sea levels rose, and they grew larger and larger in a case of insular gigantism.  Smaller ones persisted though on Dover Island, and eventually rafted over to the peninsula across the Straights of Dover.  There they spread across Europe.
