Project Noah is a tool that nature lovers can use to explore and document local wildlife and a common technology platform that research groups can use to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere.

One of the main aims (and highlights!) of a recent trip to the Flinder's Ranges in SA. These rock wallabies have got to be one of Australia's prettiest macropods in my opinion and they are very beautiful close up. I was lucky enough to have some great encounters with this species in the Brachina gorge area in the northern part of the Flinder's Ranges NP.

Short-eared Rock Wallaby

Yellow footed Rock Wallaby Les pétrogales, autrement connus sous le nom de wallabies des rochers, forment à eux seuls un genre de mammifères marsupiaux dont la taille n’excède pas 60 cm, et que l’habitat rocheux qu’ils occupent caractérise plus particulièrement.

Scientific name: Petrogale xanthopus The Lowry Park Zoo is in Tampa, Florida. Wallabies are marsupial mammals and are in the same family (Macropodidae) as kangaroos. The name "wallaby" is an informal term that is used to refer to members of this family that are smaller than kangaroos. This particular species, the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby, lives in rocky habitats in parts of Australia.

The short-eared rock-wallaby (Petrogale brachyotis) is a species of rock-wallaby found in northern Australia, in the northernmost parts of Northern Territory and Western Australia. It is much larger than its two closest relatives, the nabarlek (Petrogale concinna) and the monjon (Petrogale burbidgei).
