EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet the 'Rockstar' of South Australia - CAN-2550, the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby! 🦘🌵 This marsupial beauty is a true survivor, now commonly found only in the rugged Flinders Ranges. With its vibrant yellow feet and sleek fur, it's no wonder this wallaby stands out from the crowd! Living in dry rocky areas, this protected species has faced numerous challenges over the years. From battling predation by humans (who couldn't resist their luxurious fur) to habitat deterioration caused by us pesky humans again, these rock wallabies have proven their resilience time and time again. But that's not all! They even have to compete for food with other introduced herbivores like rabbits and goats. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! Males of this species can grow up to an impressive 650 mm tall and weigh around 7 kg. That's one big bouncing buddy you wouldn't want to mess with! So next time you visit South Australia's Flinders Ranges, keep your eyes peeled for these incredible creatures hopping around. And remember, let's protect our furry friends so they can continue rocking on for generations to come!
