Brush Derby Eared Kangaroos Parry Rabbit Tailed Woolly
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century photograph captures a diverse collection of kangaroos, showcasing the remarkable variety of this iconic Australian species. The image features several distinct subspecies, including the Lord Derby (Macropus derbyanus), Aroe (Macropus rufogriseus), Parry's (Macropus parryi), Woolly (Macropus bernardus), Brush-tailed (Macropus bicolor), Rat-tailed (Macropus rufus), and Rabbit-eared (Macropus rufogriseus) kangaroos. The Lord Derby kangaroo, with its striking grey fur and distinctive white stripe down the length of its back, is named after the 15th Earl of Derby, who was an avid collector of exotic animals. The Aroe kangaroo, also known as the Red-grey kangaroo, is native to the arid regions of central Australia and is easily identified by its reddish-grey fur. Parry's kangaroo, named after the British explorer John Parry, is found in the arid regions of Western Australia and is characterized by its long, powerful hind legs and long, bushy tail. The Woolly kangaroo, as its name suggests, is covered in thick, woolly fur, making it well-suited to the cold climate of Tasmania. The Brush-tailed kangaroo, found in eastern and southeastern Australia, is known for its long, bushy tail, which is used for balance and communication. The Rat-tailed and Rabbit-eared kangaroos, both native to the arid regions of central Australia, are named for their distinctive ear shapes and rat-like tails. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these remarkable animals, providing a testament to the rich biodiversity of Australia during the 19th century.
