The black-striped wallaby, also known as the black-striped wallaby or Macropus dorsalis, is a medium-sized marsupial native to Australia. It is characterized by its distinctive black stripes that run along its back and sides, providing effective camouflage in its natural habitat. These wallabies typically inhabit forested areas and grasslands, where they feed on grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Black-striped wallabies are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active during the night. They are social animals and often live in small groups. Like other members of the Macropodidae family, they have strong hind legs that allow them to hop efficiently, making them well-adapted to their environment.
