Tasmanian pademelon (Thylogale billardierii) - Wallaby (Previously Injured Ear)

The Tasmanian pademelon (Thylogale billardierii), also known as the rufous-bellied pademelon or red-bellied pademelon, is the sole species of pademelon found in Tasmania, and was formerly found throughout southeastern Australia. This pademelon has developed heavier and bushier fur than its northern relatives, who inhabit northern Australia and Papua New Guinea.

 

Males reach around 7 kg (15.4 lbs) in weight, 1–1.2 metres in length including the tail, and are considerably larger than the females, which average 4 kg (8.8 lbs).
