Petersburg_eastern_hare-wallaby

Specimen of the Eastern Hare-Wallaby, an extinct kangaroo species from Autralia. The last specimen was seen in 1890. This species was known to have very swifty habits, outrunning dogs and jumping up to 1.50 meters high. Howeve those habits did not protect it from extinction. Introduced cats were possibly the cause for its demise. Stuffed specimen exhibited at the Natural History museum of St. Petersburg, Russia
