Crescent Nail-tail Wallaby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Crescent Nail-tail Wallaby (Onychogalea lunata) was a nail-tail wallaby that lived in the woodlands and scrubs of the west and centre of Australia. It was the size of a hare and was the smallest nail-tail wallaby. The last specimen of this wallaby to be collected alive was caught in a dingo trap on the Nullarbor Plain in 1927 or 1928. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Crescent_Nailtail_Wallaby   (280 words)

Nature Feature - Nailtailed Wallaby There are three distinctive species of Nailtail wallaby (genus onychogalea), each possessing a small horny spur at the end of the tail, the function of which is unknown. The Northern Nailtail Wallaby, first collected from Derby, WA, in 1838 during a post-Darwinian voyage of HMS Beagle, is the tropical representative of its genus. With a status regarded as rare in its limited range, the Bridled Nailtail Wallaby is one of a number of mammals whose populations declined spectacularly after European settlement. www.australianstamp.com /Coin-web/feature/nature/nailtail.htm   (1448 words)

Wallaby A wallaby is any of about about 30 species of macropod. Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas, less so on the great semi-arid plains that are better suited to the larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed kangaros. The Banded Hare Wallaby[?] is thought to be the last remaining member of the once-numerous subfamily Sthenurinae, and although once common across southern Australia, is now restricted to two islands off the Western Aistralian coast which are free of introduced predators. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/wa/Wallabies.html   (311 words)

Macropod : Information and resources about Macropod : School Work Guru   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Macropods are marsupials belonging to the family Macropodidae, which includes kangaroos, wallabies, tree kangaroos, pademelons, and several others. The famous kangaroo hop is not simply a matter of having strong legs: kangaroos and wallabies have a unique ability to store elastic strain energy in their tendons. There are two subfamilies: the Sthenurinae was highly successful in the Pleistocene but is now represented by just a single species, and a vulnerable one at that, the Banded Hare-Wallaby; the remainder, about 44 species, makes up the subfamily Macropodinae. www.schoolworkguru.org /encyclopedia/m/ma/macropod.html   (549 words)
