	Macropod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macropods are herbivorous: some are browsers, but most are grazers and are equipped with appropriately specialised teeth for cropping and grinding up fibrous plants, in particular grasses and sedges.
		In general, macropods have a broad, straight row of cutting teeth at the front of the mouth, no canine teeth, and a gap before the molars.
		Macropods vary in size considerably but most have very large hind legs and a long, powerfully muscled tail.

	Wildcare Macropods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Raising a macropod joey as a pet is not acceptable, they are entitled to their true life.
		The decision to hand raise a macropod joey should only be taken if there is a reasonable chance of success and if there is a place for the animal to go when it is time for release.
		Macropod joeys need a strict routine so for example, a joey on six feeds per day would need to be fed at 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm and 2am.

		The Quokka (Setonix brachyurus) is a small macropod, about the size of a large domestic cat.
		Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as the kangaroos and wallabies) the Quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal.
		In the wild, it is now restricted to a very small range in mainland south-western Western Australia, where it has become rare, and on two fox-free islands off the coast: Bald Island and Rottnest Island — which is its stronghold.

	The Macropod Industry in Australia
		Rejection rates for disease conditions identified by AQIS inspectors when animals are processed are only 0.7%%, this is approximately 1/2—1/3 of what is usually rejected for cattle and sheep.
		All macropod harvesters must be licensed by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and pass a QPWS approved course which instructs them in aspects of the laws controlling kangaroo harvesting.
		Studies conducted at RMIT have shown that the concentrations of 20:4n-6 and n-3 PUFA in kangaroo is higher than beef.

	Dioxins in fauna in Australia - technical report No. 7 : Dioxin Levels in Australian Fauna 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In total 22 Macropod samples (including wallabies and kangaroos) were analysed as a part of this study and these were collected from 6 states throughout Australia.
		The overall low TEQ in the macropod samples was influenced by the relatively high concentrations of the PCDD/PCDF congeners with a low TEF value rather than the low concentrations of PCDD/PCDFs and the dioxin-like PCBs.
		The low TEQ in the macropods is therefore due not only to the low levels of dioxin-like compounds but also to the congener profiles.

		There are five species of macropod family (which includes kangaroos, wallabies, bettongs and potoroos).
		The term 'macropod' is derived from the Greek, which means 'large footed'.
		But in the case of many macropods, reproduction is characterised by the ability to arrest the development of embryos and, in some arid-dwelling species, even forgo the oestrus cycle.

		A wallaby is any of about about 30 species of macropod.
		Essentially, a wallaby is any macropod that isn't considered large enough to be a kangaroo and has not been given some other name.
		The three nailtail wallabies (one extinct) and the four typical hare-wallabies make up another group, and New Guinea, which was until fairly recent geological times a part of mainland Australia, has at least 5 species of New Guinea forest wallaby.

	Macropod - BIRD
		A macropod is any member of the kangaroo family Macropodidae, which also includes the wallabies, tree kangaroos, pademelons, and several others.
		There are more than 50 macropods: the family is the third-largest among the marsupials (after the opossum and the carnivore groups); one of the most widely distributed; and it contains nearly all the largest surviving species.

		This 350-page book was designed as a "How and Why Book," informing readers not only how to manage their macropods effectively but why their management should be conducted in a certain manner.
		Learning the practical and the scientific aspects of macropod care is where true understanding comes from.
		The author's intent is not to scare or steer people away from macropod ownership, but to inform and educate inexperienced and prospective macropod owners (and their veterinarians) so as to encourage responsible management and ownership.

		In 1993 the data collection procedure on macropod road-kills was changed to ensure that records were collected of the species, sex and age of all macropod road fatalities.
		This change was instituted to enable the pattern of mortality to be analysed with respect to different demographic groups within the macropod population.
		An analysis of the macropod road-kill data has now raised some concerns about the ability of a reflector trial involving only a small number of experimental sites to test the efficacy of these reflectors.
