wallaroo

Between kangaroo, wallaby

A wallaroo is a medium-sized kangaroo native to Australia, intermediate in size between kangaroos and wallabies.

The name combines "wallaby" and "kangaroo." Wallaroos are stocky and muscular, typically found in rocky terrain and hill country: We spotted a wallaroo sunning itself on the escarpment.
