Everything about The Eastern Wallaroo totally explainedThe Eastern Wallaroo ( Macropus robustus), also known as the Common Wallaroo, the Hill Wallaroo or the Euro, is a large, variable species of macropod found throughout much of the Australian mainland. It is one of the largest macropods and its appearance is highly variable.
The Eastern Wallaroo is mostly nocturnal and solitary, and is one of the more common macropods. It makes a loud hissing noise and some subspecies are sexually dimorphic, like most wallaroos. [
There are four subspecies:][
]- M. r. robustus - Found in eastern Australia, males of this subspecies have dark fur, almost resembling Woodward's Wallaroo (Macropus bernardus). Females are lighter, being almost sandy in colour.
[
]- M. r. erubescens - Found on covering most of its remaining range, this subspecies is variable, but mostly brownish in colour.
[
]- M. r. isabellinus - This subspecies is restricted to Barrow Island in Western Australia, and is comparatively small. It is uniformly reddish brown.
[
]- M. r. woodwardi - This subspecies is found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and in a band running through Northern Territory. It is the palest subspecies and is a dull brown-grey colour.
The Eastern Wallaroo as a species isn't considered to be threatened, but the Barrow Island subspecies (M. r. isabellinus) is classified as vulnerable.[Further Information]
