The Red-necked Wallaby can be distinguished from other wallabies by its white cheek markings and red colouring on the neck. The rest of its body fur is grey to reddish in colour with a white or pale grey abdomen. Their muzzle, paws and toes are black in colour.
The Red-necked Wallaby is protected by law in all states of Australia.

No Australia without some type of kangaroo. I came across this little wallaby on the Overland Track in Tasmania. Nice to see fauna that isn't afraid of humans.

Rock Wallabies are a small marsupial native to Australia. They are smaller than a Kangaroo. This photo was taken at Featherdale Animal Park, Blacktown which is only around 20 minutes drive from our house. It is a wonderful place for visitors to Sydney to see Australian animals up close.
We were about to advise friends to plant some casuarinas as a windbreak on their farm - this Swamp Wallaby clarified this once and for all: wallabies do eat casuarinas.

One of the group of Bennett's Wallabies at Yorkshire Wildlife park. Visitors are permitted to walk through the enclosure where these animals are kept, allowing very close encounters. I took this image late in the afternoon, with the low sun catching the Birchwood at the rear of the enclosure to provide a golden background. for the portrait.
It's an Australian native. A wallaby is a small or mid-sized macropod native to Australia and New Guinea, with introduced populations in New Zealand, UK and other countries. They belong to the same taxonomic family as kangaroos and sometimes the same genus, but kangaroos are specifically categorised into the six largest species of the family. The term wallaby is an informal designation generally used for any macropod that is smaller than a kangaroo or wallaroo that has not been designated otherwise. There are 11 species of brush wallabies (g. Macropus, s.g. Protemnodon). Their head and body length is 45 to 105 cm and the tail is 33 to 75 cm long. The six named species of rock-wallabies (g. Petrogale) live among rocks, usually near water; two species are endangered. The two species of hare-wallabies (g. Lagorchestes) are small animals that have the movements and some of the habits of hares. Often called pademelons, the three species of scrub wallabies (g. Thylogale) of New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Tasmania are small and stocky, with short hind limbs and pointed noses. 15238

Leur enclos est à l'extérieur de la Ménagerie, ce qui fait que tout visiteur du Jardin des Plantes peut les voir.
I was very lucky to see this Black-footed Wallaby along the Tharrarletneme Track in The Olive Pink Botanic Gardens at Alice Springs.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
