Rock stars
Mareeba rock-wallabies pause among the boulders of Granite Gorge Nature Park, northern Queensland. Weighing under 5kg, this is one of the smallest of about 50 marsupial species of the macropod ('big foot') family in Australia, including four species of kangaroo, plus wallabies, wallaroos and pademelons.
Night vision
Most marsupials - including this eastern grey kangaroo, photographed under a full moon in Murramarang National Park, New South Wales - are largely nocturnal or crepuscular, resting in shade during the day. Sexual dimorphism is also common: male eastern greys can weigh over 60kg, twice as much as females.
Snout and about
Curious Mareeba rock-wallabies check out Stefano's lens in Granite Gorge Nature Park. Among the most social of macropods, this rare species its range limited to a small area of Queensland - forms groups of several dozen individuals.

What's the largest animal gathering on Earth?
PEOPLE LOVE A PARTY. BUT AS POPULOUS as our species is, the headcounts at our gatherings don't match those of other species. The Maha Kumbh Mela, a Hindu pilgrimage in Prayagraj, India, drew more than 660 million people in January 2025. But this horde - thought to be the largest in human history – pales in comparison to the groups formed by our animal relatives.

Do plants have memory?
