Red-legged
Pademelon (resting)
Thylogale stigmatica stigmatica
A typical
resting/sleeping posture for Red-legged Pademelons is to fold the tail
forward between the legs and sit on the base of the tail. As they become
more relaxed they lean forward in a hunched position with the head
resting on the ground.
