rock-wallabies
Australian boulder-hopping mammals
Rock-wallabies are small to medium-sized marsupials native to Australia, adapted to life among rocky outcrops, cliffs, and boulder piles.
Their padded feet and long tails give them exceptional agility on steep terrain.
Several species exist, varying in size and coloring, many with distinctive facial markings.
Like other wallabies, they are smaller relatives of kangaroos.
