Bennett's Wallaby
This Bennett's Wallaby lives in the Australian House at the Calgary Zoo.
"There are two subspecies of Red-necked Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus). The Tasmanian form, Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus, also known as Bennett's Wallaby is smaller (as island species nearly always are), has longer, shaggier fur, and breeds in the late summer, mostly between February and April. They have adapted to living in proximity to humans and can be found grazing on lawns in the fringes of Hobart and other urban areas." From Wikipedia.
