Most Northern Record of Parma Wallaby (Notamacropus parma)

Abstract

We report on a new northern record of the parma wallaby (Notamacropus parma). This animal was captured and subsequently released during a free-ranging dog trapping and collaring program in agricultural land north of Tooloom National Park, NSW. Parma wallaby can be difficult to identify where there are sympatric wallabies, especially on camera trap images. While research is underway to better understand the occurrence of this species, their distribution is not accurately known. This incidental detection has extended the known range of parma wallaby in NSW and accords with the modelled distribution of the species.
