western rock wallaby
Petrogale penicillata
The brush-tailed rock wallaby is a small marsupial mammal from the kangaroo family. It lives among rocks in eastern Australia and has a long tail with a dense tuft at the end.
The brush-tailed rock wallaby differs from other wallabies with its dense tuft on the tail and excellent ability to climb sheer cliffs. It is important for the nature of Australia because it spreads plant seeds and serves as food for local predators.
