Red-necked Wallaby Macropus rufogriseus

The Red-necked Wallaby, named after the red-brown fur on the crown, back of neck and mid shoulders of its otherwise grey body with white front and black nose/feet, is native to Australia.

The nominal subspecies, also called Bennett's Wallaby, is native to Tasmania and is slightly smaller than the mainland two subspecies from south-eastern Australia.

Wallabies are marsupials, like their larger relatives Kangaroos. This means the female has a pouch on her belly in which the infant (called a joey) can hide.

The black nose and feet. Red-necked Wallabies (Bennett's subspecies, above) have established small feral populations in the UK and France.
