Daintree Rainforest Wildlife photographed at Thylogale by David & Diane Armbrust Swamp Wallaby (joey in rainforest) Wallabia bicolor   A combination of genetic, reproductive, dental and behavioural characteristics set this wallaby so far apart from all other wallabies that it is classified as the sole living member of the genus Wallabia. The Swamp Wallaby lives in thick undergrowth in forests, woodlands and heaths. The unusual diet of  ferns, shrubs and bushes gives this very beautiful animal a distinctive scent which has led to them being known unkindly by some people as "Stinkers".
