The nail-tail wallabies (genus Onychogalea) are three species of macropod found in Australia. They are distinguished by a horny spur at the end of their tail. While the northern nail-tail wallaby is still common in the northern part of Australia,[1] the crescent nail-tail is now extinct,[2] and the bridled nail-tail is considered rare and endangered, with probably fewer than 1100 mature individuals in the wild.[3] Nail-tail wallabies are smaller than many other wallabies.[4]
Species
There are three species:[5]
- Bridled nail-tail wallaby, Onychogalea fraenata
- † Crescent nail-tail wallaby, Onychogalea lunata
- Northern nail-tail wallaby, Onychogalea unguifera
