About the yellow-footed rock wallaby
The yellow-footed rock-wallaby is a macropod found in western New South Wales, eastern South Australia and isolated parts of Queensland. It prefers rough terrain and rock outcroppings and is not typically found near human habitation. The coat is grey to fawn-grey above, with a black stripe from the crown to the middle of the back, a white cheek stripe, and bright yellow to orange forearms and hind legs. The orange-brown tail is irregularly ringed with dark brown, and body weight is 6 to 11 kg. It was formerly called the ring-tailed rock-wallaby and was killed in large numbers for its pelt between the 1880s and 1920s.
