The eastern Wallaroo, also known as the Euro, is a heavy-set species of kangaroo, with the male much larger than the female. Females may grow to 80cm in height with a weight of 25kg; males can grow to 1.1 metres, and weight up to 55 kg.

Male wallaroos are darker coloured than the females. They have a very shaggy coat, tending slate-grey to black in colour, while the females are more of a bluish-grey colour, and paler underneath.
