Red neck Wallaby - Scientific name: Macropus rufogriseus Other common names for this wallaby are Bennett's Wallaby, Brush Wallaby, Brusher and Red Wallaby. Red-neck Wallabies generally rest alone but graze communally. They are found down the east coast of Australia ranging from Southern Queensland through NSW and Victoria and throughout most of Tasmania. Their habitats include scrubland to open forest with heath land to hide in amongst. There are two subspecies of Red-neck Wallaby, a mainland and a Tasmanian subspecies. Females give birth to young throughout the year. The red neck wallaby can be distinguished from other wallabies by their large size and distinctive colouring. The majority of their body is brown/grey with a reddish/orange neck sometimes extending down their backs. Males tend to have a deeper or more distinctive 'red neck' than the females who are duller in colour. Their chests are usually white or lighter in colour and their paws, muzzle and majority of feet are always black. Red neck Wallabies enjoy resting under trees or other shady areas during the warmest part of the day becoming more active during late afternoon and early morning.
