What color is a wallabies fur?

Answer 1

There are many varieties of wallabies so, depending on the species, the colour of their fur varies from reddish-brown to grey, with some having a darker nose, feet and tail.

• The Red-necked wallaby, for example, has a rusty red neck, more pronounced in males than in females, with two cream coloured stripes on its dark nose, and a thick, long, grey tail with a dark tip.
• The Yellow-footed rock wallaby, on the other hand, has yellow banded stripes on the tail, yellow forelges and yellow feet, with a grey-brown body.
• The Brush-tailed wallaby is covered with thick, brown fur, which is paler on its chest and belly. It has dark brown back legs and tail (the tail tends to be dark reddish-brown), with black paws and feet. It is distinctive for its cream stripe that runs from its snout to ear on both cheeks, and a black stripe from its forehead to the back of its head. The reason it is called a brush-tailed wallaby is because its tail seems to have a "brush" at the end.
• The Swamp Wallaby is one of the darker wallabies. It has dark coloured extremities and a red-brown coloured belly.
• Many of the Rock wallaby species are lighter, with yellowish-brown to tan colouring.
