Bennett's Wallaby
The Bennett’s wallaby is the Tasmanian subspecies of the Red-necked Wallaby of southern and eastern Australia.
Kangaroos and Wallabies are pouched mammals, or marsupials, of Australia and nearby islands that are famous for their great leaping ability. The name Kangaroo is usually used for large species and Wallaby for smaller ones. They all belong to the family Macropodidae meaning "big footed," and they are mainly herbivorous, or plant-eating. Smaller Kangaroos are usually called Wallabies. The name is especially used for any Kangaroo with a hind foot less than 10 inches long.
There are a few colonies of Bennett’s Wallabies living within the UK, mainly originating from zoo escapees. They have been found in various regions, including Isle of Man, Bedfordshire, Peak District, Cumbria, East Sussex, and even on the island of Inchconnachan, Loch Lomond in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
