Hi @HelenCross and @MichaelBedingfield
It is definitely a Red kangaroo Osphranter rufus. I dont have permission to change the entry.

Sorry, I meant a natural white collar. Thanks for that info Don. I was with a Canberra Birds group and did a loop around that lowland area of Urambi and saw hundreds of Eastern Greys and a few Red-necked Wallabies

Hard to be sure from this description and photo. But it is not a Bandicoot, Potoroid (not known from that area anyway), Hare, Rabbit, Broad toothed rat, Rattus species, Brush-tailed Possum, any kind of glider nor a juvenile of any kind of ungulate found in Australia. Only two species in the region have part of their tails white and it is not a Rakali. So I agree with David Cunningham that it is a RTPoss.

Hi @HelenCross, I cant see any ear tags (nor holes in the ears where tags were torn out) so I'm thinking that by 'white collar' you mean a natural marking, not one of the research collars. (If the latter, needs to be removed by Claire Wimpenny's team, the sooner the better). Cataract on right eye is so severe she would only tell changes in light level on that side. White on muzzle indicates old age. If we could see her molar progression it would probably show she was quite old. Urambi Hills NR is unculled and only very lightly predated by stray dogs and foxes, so with only disease, parasites and starvation to administer the coup-de-grace, more of the aged animals persist in the population. Where there are dingoes, there are few or no animals like this.
