Description

The red-legged pademelon (Thylogale stigmatica), is a small native macropod (2.5-9 kg), found on the north/ eastern coast of Australia and in New Guinea. Preferring tropical and subtropical rainforest habitats, wet sclerophyll forest and occasionally deciduous vine thickets. Red-legged pademelons have a varied diet consisting of fruits, leaves, bark, fungus and insects. Under the IUCN pademelons are listed as ?least concern? although population numbers are decreasing (IUCN). Mary Cairncross is an isolated remnant reserve and this survey aims to build our understanding of population numbers and ensure we are aware of declines in the local population.
