What is a pademelon?
A pademelon is a small member of the kangaroo family, smaller than many wallabies, and endemic to the Australian continent, including the island state of Tasmania. Like the larger kangaroos, it is herbivorous, feeding on grasses, forbs, low shrubs and, occasionally, fungi. Unlike the larger species of kangaroos, however, it tends to be solitary, not moving in packs, though many can be sighted within close range of each other.There are three distinct species of pademelons. The largest is the Tasmanian pademelon, also known as the Red-bellied or Rufous-bellied pademelon. It has a head-body length of 55-63 cm and a tail length of 32-42 cm. It is common throughout the island state of Tasmania, but is also found in the coastal southern regions of Victoria and South Australia.The Red-necked pademelon, is next in size, with a head-body length of 32-60 cm and a tail length of 30-51 cm. This species is found only in far eastern Australia.The Red-legged pademelon is the smallest species, growing to a maximum head-body length of 53 cm with a tail length of up to 47 cm. It is also found in far eastern Australia, extending to the north, through the coastal areas of Cape York Peninsula.

A pademelon is a small member of the kangaroo family. Therefore, any marsupial that is a member of the macropod family is a relative of the pademelon. The macropods form a very large family, with over 60 species in Australia.The largest of the pademelon's relatives are very common, and include the following:The Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus)The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus)The Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus)Other macropod relatives of pademelons include:Wallabies, which include all the species within the groups of rock-wallaby, brush wallaby and swamp wallabyQuokkas, limited to far southwest Western Australia, but especially prolific on Rottnest IslandMusky-rat kangaroo (the smallest of all kangaroos)Tree kangaroos, which live in trees, although they can easily jump to the ground from 6m up and escape along the ground if threatened. There are numerous species of tree-kangaroos. They have shorter hind legs and a long, non-prehensile tail which they use as a rudder for jumping between tree branches. They are the only type also found in New Guinea.Wallaroos and euros, which are between wallabies and kangaroos in size. They are characterised by a more thickset body, and are darker around the snout, and specially suited for leaping up and down mountainous terrain.Rat-kangaroos, which look like oversized rats around the face and ears. There are various species of these, such as the Musky rat-kangaroo and the Rufous rat-kangaroo. Rat kangaroos are different to the kangaroo-rats of North America, and not at all related.Potoroos, which are small and quite endangered. For example, Gilbert's Potoroo is the most threatened marsupial species in Australia.Bettongs which, like the potoroo, are sometimes included in with the rat-kangaroos. They are quite small, usually weighing only a couple of kilograms when mature.
