Description

The Parma wallaby is native to the wet forests of northern New South Wales, Australia. They live in the Great Dividing Range from near Gosford almost as far north as the Queensland border. They inhabit wet forests with thick undergrowth, grassy patches, dry forests, and rainforests.
These herbivores feed on grass and herbs in forest clearings. They emerge from their shelters to forage shortly before dusk.
They are also known as white-throated wallabies. They are the smallest members of the genus Macropus, weighing about 7 to 12 pounds. They have a body length of about 19 inches with a sparsely furred, blackish tail of about the same length.
Their fur is reddish or grayish brown above, greyer about the head, and fades to pale grey underneath.
Females give birth to a single baby. The newborn joey nurses and stays in her pouch for around 25 weeks.
These animals are nocturnal and shelter in thick scrub during the day. They travel at high speeds along the runways they clear through the brush. They are largely solitary creatures, though two or three animals sometimes gather to feed.
The population remains rare but appears to be slowly increasing. There seems to be no immediate threat to them if their remaining habitat stays safe from destruction.
