#663: Rock-wallaby

This fellow is a Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby. He is one of 17 species of Rock-wallaby. These nocturnal macropods spend their days lurking within the stone fortress of rocks, and venture out at night to graze.

Here's a photo of a short-eared Rock-wallaby taken in Kakadu:


 As you can see, the various species look kinda similar - also like the Nabarlek. I cannot help but wonder if I drew my nabarlek off the wrong reference image. Here's a real nabarlek. Unfortunately, he was in a nocturnal house and wouldn't stop moving. As you can see, I did the tail wrong on my image.
