Macropus antilopinus (Antilopine Kangaroo; antilopine wallaroo)

Synonyms: Osphranter antilopinus (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The antilopine kangaroo (Macropus antilopinus), sometimes called the antilopine wallaroo or the antilopine wallaby, is a species of macropod found in northern Australia: in Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, the Top End of the Northern Territory, and the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is a locally common, gregarious grazer. The name antilopine means antelope-like. The antilopine kangaroo is sometimes referred to as the 'Antilopine wallaroo', but in behaviour and habitat is more similar to the Red and Grey kangaroos.
