Swamp Wallaby

The wallabies in this area are very well camouflaged - blending with the melaleuca wood and dappled light. <br>
This is the only living wallaby of the genus Wallabia. It is solitary animal but we found three in the same area. They feed on a variety of plants including some plants that are toxic to other animals. <br>
They are quite endearing in the wild - they sit still in the grass with the tops of their dark heads just in sight. <br>
Has several other common names including black wallaby and black pademelon.

Family: Macropodidae
