Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby
Petrogale penicillata
The brush-tailed rock-wallaby lives among steep rocky escarpments, cliffs, and boulder piles in southeastern Australian woodland and forest. It is chiefly active from late afternoon through the night, feeding on grasses, herbs, leaves, and bark. Powerful hind legs and a long tail allow it to bound rapidly across broken terrain and narrow ledges. Its distinctive brushy tail helps distinguish it from many other rock-wallabies.
