Wallaby
The 11 species of brush wallabies (genus Macropus, sub genus Protemnodon)
are built like the big kangaroos but differ somewhat in dentition.
Their head and body length is 45 to 105 cm (18 to 41 inches), and the
tail is 33 to 75 cm long. A common species is the red-necked wallaby (M. rufogriseus),
with reddish nape and shoulders, which inhabits brush lands of
southeastern Australia and Tasmania; this species is often seen in zoos.
The pretty-faced wallaby, or whip tail (M. elegans, or M. parryi), with distinctive cheek marks, is found in open woods of coastal eastern Australia.
