it's a kangaroo not a wallaby (look at the size and shape of the head). Whiptail wallabies also have prominent ear markings. I think it must be a red kangaroo.
It could be, the other species in this enclosure was Red Kangaroos (also not signed, but they were obviously Red Kangaroos) but they were much bigger and more red kangaroo-like than this one which seemed different. Ps. Thanks for the confirmations of the other two wallaby pictures.
yeah, I'm not particularly convinced of my ID for this one. The head looks like a red kangaroo's but it just doesn't seem right otherwise. The other photo (http://www.zoochat.com/1415/wallaby-id-red-necked-wallaby-452795/) - was it the same enclosure?
Yes same enclosure, I think one of them is the same individual. There were two walkthrough wallaby/kangaroo enclosures, neither had any signage. One had (Eastern I am assuming) Grey Kangaroo, Red-necked Wallaby, and Swamp Wallaby (and Emu), and the other enclosure had Red Kangaroo, Swamp Wallaby again, and this species.
mm, I wondered if that right-hand individual was the one in this photo. The left-hand one looks like a red-necked wallaby but the other almost looks like a hybrid. I really couldn't say what it was.
Here's something else to add to the mix: http://www.zoochat.com/1415/macropod-species-452864/ It was in a different enclosure to the one above, however I think it may be the same species? I don't think it was a Red-necked Wallaby which was also present in the same enclosure as this was considerably larger.
Whiptail Wallaby, although there is a lot of red colouration in it. Definitely not a red kangaroo. OK, Red-neck Wallaby.
the head is completely the wrong shape for a whiptail wallaby, and there are no ear markings. I don't think it's a red kangaroo either (now) but the head is really throwing me off. It's a weird-looking animal.
