The yellow-legged rock wallaby is a small marsupial mammal from the kangaroo family. It lives on rocks in arid regions of Australia, distinguished by yellow paws and rings on the tail.
The yellow-legged rock wallaby differs from other kangaroos by living among rocks and having rings on its tail. It is important for Australia's nature because it helps spread plant seeds and serves as food for predators.
