Wallabia bicolor, a 'swamp' #wallaby. Incredible macropods commonly (not exclusively!) associated with thick understorey. They are also a key prey item for #dingoes in our local area.

Marvellous macropods, now we’re talking! How does land use and climate change affect macropod habitat?

Swamp Wallabies are small macropods of Aust's eastern states ranging from the coast to well inland. They inhabit thick undergrowth in forests and woodland and are mostly active at night. Filmed this much-scarred bold old guy at Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens.

That’s a tree kangaroo.

They’re found in live in lowland and mountainous rainforests in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Australia.

They’re macropods and are adapted to living a life in trees.

Devastating footage, Toolache wallabies were such beautiful animals, among the most resplendent macropods.

So this interaction happened today.
Zookeeper: "Wallabies are macropods, and-"
Me, aloud: "Ooh, macro~"
Nearby friend who knows what I'm into: *SNRRRRK!*

Probably Propleopus! A liberal application of "kangaroo" indeed, as its closest living relative is the musky rat kangaroo, the least kangaroo-like of all extant macropods.

Two male wallabies fighting on green grass. One is completely in the air while the other still has his hind legs and tail grounded. I. The background is some forest.

They're called macropods for a reason!

For this #WildlifeWednesday is the endangered Northern Bettong (Bettongia tropica) found in Far North Queensland. During the day, these solitary nocturnal macropods take shelter in a nest – one that they built from plant material collected using their prehensile tail!

Osphranter robustus, the 'common' #wallaroo. The species is sexually dimorphic with males (pictured) tending to be much darker than females. Commonly associated with hilly country, these large macropods are found locally in grassland, woodland and forest.

The mammalogy course had luck with the marsupials at Zoo Duisburg today. Devils, koalas, macropods, wombats ...

Spending time in nature is a change to recharge and reconnect. Sharing a few photos here of some times away from work. #macropods #Australia #southaustralia #wildlife
Image depicts two macropods in foreground with a vineyard and then bush in the background. The animals are looking at the camera. They subsequently hopped off.
