(Osphranter rufus)

The red kangaroo is the largest living marsupial. Males continue to grow throughout their lives, reaching up to two metres in height and weighing as much as 80-90 kg.  Female reds (or “blue fliers”) are a smoky blue-grey in colour with a pale under-surface and red/brown tinges around their paws. They can grow up to 40 kg but are more commonly 23-30 kg. Red kangaroos have a top speed of more than 60 km/h and can leap eight metres far and three metres high.

(Macropus fuliginosus)

Western grey kangaroos are slightly smaller and lighter than eastern greys with males reaching about 50 kg. They are dusty to chocolate brown in colour (often with a black patch around the elbow and dark brown face) Although eastern and western grey kangaroos are closely related, interbreeding in the wild is rare.

(Macropus giganteus)

Eastern grey kangaroos are grey-brown in colour with a pale grey face and dark shading around the eyes. Eastern grey males grow to 1.5 – 1.8 metres in height and may exceed 70 kg while the females rarely reach 35 kg. Eastern greys can hop as well as the big reds: up to nine metres in one bound, and reach speeds of nearly 50 km/h.

(Osphranter robustus)

Eastern Wallaroos have a robust build and inhabit the well-watered rocky hill country of the Great Dividing Range. In NSW wallaroos can be only be harvested in the Armidale, Upper Hunter and Glen Innes commercial harvest zones.

(Osphranter robustus infrasp erubescens)
