Description

When: May 2, 2019

Where: Dierenpark Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

It's a family of Pademelons

This one in the front is looking very sneaky, while the two in the back are sneakily getting away from the view of the camera

This photo is more meaningful, because it's probably the last one we have of them - they really don't show themselves quite as much or as easily these days. And "these days" is without COVID-lockdown and zoos being closed...

Species: Dusky Pademelon or Wallaby (De Bruijnpademelon)

Latin name: Thylogale Brunii

Originates from the Papua province of Indonesia and Papua-New Guinea.

Current status: Vulnerable

Did you know:

…The Dusky Pademelon was named after a Dutch painter, Cornelis de Bruijn, who first described it in the second volume of his “Travels” in 1711. There, he labeled his description with a name then current: Philander. A later common name for the Dusky Pademelon is Aru Island Wallaby.
