Red-necked wallaby - Red-necked wallaby

…They are found in Australia and New Guinea. While kangaroos tend to live in groups on open grasslands, wallabies, such as the red-necked wallaby Protemnodon rufogrisea (illustration), tend to live in deep, enclosed areas such as scrub forests and heathland, making passages through the thick brush.

They make good use of their small bodies to live.

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "red-necked wallaby" is listed below.
