This swamp wallaby lives on my property. They are unique to all our macropods for a few reasons one being that these will actually eat other small mammals! I'm thinking this is a female as there was finally another here last week (these normally live alone rather than in groups like some macropods) so maybe that was a boy visiting...
@dianen thanks Diane, yes I was only about 20 metres away and suddenly realised she was there. I see her nearly every day on the property but usually she sees me first and takes off. Yes much smaller than a kangaroo - she is probably about 70 cm or so tall, while kangaroos can be up to 1.5 m tall if that helps get her size and proportion
