Image of Red-necked wallaby

Description:

This Red-necked Wallaby and her Joey were hanging near our cabin on the Freycinet Peninsula, on the Eastern Tasmania coast. (We were not feeding them - although they seemed ever hopeful.) The joey was very large - but it stayed near it's mother all the time. I think these were Macropus rufogriseus ( Bennett's Wallaby - a smaller form of Red-necked Wallaby adapted to living on the island of Tasmania) Source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-necked_Wallaby Accessed 18 Jan 2010 Australia oz2009 621
