Unadorned Rock Wallaby Petrogale inornata

Found in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is paler than most of its relatives and even plainer, hence its common name. The unadorned rock-wallaby is patchily distributed in coastal ranges from around Rockhampton to near Townsville.

They really are! They don't have an inaturalist page so I'll use the wikimedia commons photos.

Protemnodon viator was a large macropod that lived in what is now western and southern Australia during the late Pleistocene, around 50,000 years ago.

Although it was built more like a giant wallaby, ancient mitochondrial DNA has shown that its closest living relatives are actually modern grey kangaroos.

Estimated to have weighed about 170kg (~375lbs) – twice as much as the largest modern red kangaroos – it would have stood up to 2.4m tall (~8') on its hind legs. But unlike its living relatives Protemnodon's limb proportions indicate it wasn't a very efficient bipedal hopper, instead probably mostly moving with a bounding or galloping quadrupedal gait.

Its forelimb anatomy also suggests it was a good digger, and strongly curved claws on its hind feet may have helped provide grip on uneven ground.
