    The red-legged pademelon (Thylogale stigmatica), is a small native macropod (2.5-9 kg), found on the north/ eastern coast of Australia and in New Guinea. Preferring tropical and subtropical rainforest habitats, wet sclerophyll forest and occasionally deciduous vine thickets. Red-legged pademelons have a varied diet consisting of fruits, leaves, bark, fungus and insects.
