Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis is the scientific name for the Tasmanian Forester Kangaroo. Macropus means 'big-footed', in reference to the kangaroo's long feet. 'Giganteus' mean gigantic, in reference to the kangaroo's large size. This part of the name is also given to the Eastern Grey kangaroo, as the Forester Kangaroo is a sub-species of the Eastern Grey. 'Tasmaniensis' means 'from Tasmania', as this subspecies is found only in Tasmania.
