Agile Wallaby with joey

The most common of the macropods in tropical coastal Australia, the Agile Wallaby is found across the north of Australia from Western Australia around the coast to the north of Cape York, and down the eastern seaboard until Mackay. It is abundant in open woodlands and grasslands adjacent to watercourses.
Like other kangaroos, the Agile Wallaby has the ability to become pregnant while still carrying its pouch-young. The newly fertilized embryo ceases cell division and becomes dormant (called embryonic diapause) until the pouch is vacated. This ability allows the wallaby to breed rapidly.
It's always nice to see the joey sticking it's head out :)
