    I went here 2 months ago and was just wondering if the zootierlste list for these animals is correct. It says it has a Bennett kangaroo and I don't remember seeing one.

    First time posting links so apologise if it doesn't show up

    Bennett Kangaroo (by which I assume you mean Bennett's Tree Kangaroo) is not listed on ZTL for the current or former holdings of Tierpark Aachen.

    Looking at their website the only macropod they claim to hold is the Red-necked Wallaby - which *is* listed on Zootierliste.

    "Bennett-kaenguru" would be a reasonable German name for Red-necked Wallaby.

    Bennett's Wallaby is of course an alternative name in English for Red-necked Wallaby.

    Is that always true? I assume when the subspecies is not known, the names are used interchangeably?

    they are all "red-necked wallabies". The name "Bennett's wallaby" is just for the Tasmanian subspecies though. I don't know specifics of the European population but I dare say they would all be Bennett's anyway.
