Bennett’s or Red-necked Wallaby

The Bennett’s Wallaby is a subspecies, common to Tasmania, of the Red-necked Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) which is a medium-sized macropod, common in the more temperate and fertile parts of eastern Australia. As one of the largest wallabies, it can easily be mistaken for a kangaroo. Males can weigh more than 20 kg and attain a head-body length of 90 cm.
