N2  - The reproduction of the endangered macropod Onychogalea fraenata was studied in captivity. O. fraenata breeds throughout the year. A post-partum oestrus was not recorded, although mating during the pouch life was observed when the pouch young were 80&#8211;92 days old. The mean length of the oestrous cycle was determined to be 36&#183;2 days, while the mean length of a gestation period was 23&#183;6 days. Pouch life ranged between 119 and 126 days, and the young males and females matured as early as 270 days and 136 days, respectively.
