Eastern grey kangaroo

Macropodidae

Macropus giganteus · Least concern

The fastest speed ever recorded for any kangaroo, 64 km/h, was set by a large female eastern grey. The largest known specimen, examined by Lydekker, weighed 91 kg and measured 2.92 m along the curves. In droughts, females can pause the development of their embryo.

Swamp wallaby

Macropodidae

Wallabia bicolor · Least concern

The swamp wallaby is nicknamed 'stinker' in Queensland for its swampy odour. The only living member of its genus, it has a rare golden form on North and South Stradbroke islands, and its chromosomes are thought to have fused repeatedly over the last 6 million years.

Western grey kangaroo

Macropodidae

Macropus fuliginosus · Least concern

Mature males smell distinctly of curry, which earned the western grey kangaroo the nickname 'stinker'. At 28 to 54 kg it is one of Australia's largest kangaroos, common across the whole south of the continent. It lives in groups of up to 15, where usually only the dominant male mates.
