rock-wallaby
Australian crag jumper
A rock-wallaby is any of several small to medium-sized wallabies native to Australia, adapted to live among rocky outcrops and cliffs.
They have rough-padded feet for gripping stone surfaces and long tails for balance.
Various species inhabit different regions: We spotted a yellow-footed rock-wallaby on the escarpment.
