The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a large kangaroo (males can weigh up to 70 kilograms) second in size only to the Red Kangaroo and is the only kangaroo species found in Tasmania.
The Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus vulpecular) is familiar to many urban dwelling people as it has successfully adapted to life in highly populated areas. Its natural habitat extends over much of Australia, from rainforests to dry eucalypt woodlands.
One of Australia's iconic animals, the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is found in the eastern Australian states excluding Tasmania. Koalas spend most of their life in eucalypt trees which also provide the species' entire diet.
ike the Koala the Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) has a backward-opening pouch. It is found in south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Its habitat is varied, ranging from coastal forest to alpine woodland and grassland. Wombats build burrows, leaving a mound of excavated earth outside the entrance. Gestation lasts a month.
