Macropus fuliginosus
Statut de Conservation (Liste Rouge de l'UICN):
Préoccupation mineure (LC)
Muscular tail, long ears, steady gaze — it stands balanced, alert, and ready to move.
Western grays gather in loose mobs across open woodlands and scrub, grazing quietly until something shifts — then they pause, watch, and bounce away with effortless power. Their movement is built for distance, not speed — long, energy-saving hops that carry them across dry land in search of food and shade.
Males box for dominance. Mothers carry young in pouches, pausing often to check the world around them. Common in name, but never ordinary — they are the shape and rhythm of the southern Australian bush.
