Description
It was getting towards the end of the day and when I saw this 2 red-necked wallabies oalso called Bennett's wallaby (YEY:) and the evening sun shining on them. They run freely in the enclosure so you can get very close to them. Arent they adorable ?? Wallabies are marsupials that belong to a small group of animals called macropods. They are only found naturally in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Two centuries ago there were 21 species of macropod in NSW, now there are only 15. The smallest species, and those with special habitat requirements and restricted ranges, have suffered the most, both from predators and from the destruction of their habitats. A number of species of wallaby are listed as threatened in NSW, but not these guys :)

Beautiful back lit photo of these backlit red-necked wallabies, Miroslava. So many animals are under threat now in Australia. Wonderful capture of these special wallabies!
