Flinders Chase National Park , kangaroo islands , australiaAbout
Kangaroos on the island are a sub-species of the Western Grey Kangaroo found on the mainland but are smaller, darker and have rougher fur . Tammar wallabies were once extinct on the mainland, though have now been re-introduced from a 'rump' population found on an island of New Zealand. However on Kangaroo Island they have always been numerous, and were once considered vermin. The smallest of the wallaby family, Tammar wallabies are seen predominantly at dawn and dusk.
