Best Answer

The wallaroo, a stocky member of the kangaroo family, has roughened, thickened soles on its hind feet to help give it extra protection and grip for bounding up and down rocky slopes. Their feet are also broader than those of other members of the kangaroo family.

Contrary to what many websites say, wallaroos do not have fur on the soles of their feet.
