Nabarlek
Nabarleks (''Petrogale concinna''), are a tiny species of macropod found in northern Australia. They are a shy and nocturnal animal that resides in rocky hollows and forages in the surrounding area. Their diet is grasses, sedges, and ferns found in and around their scrub covered refuges. They are distinguished by a reddish tinge to the mostly grey fur and a distinct stripe at the cheek. They move with great speed and agility when observed, with a forward leaning posture and a bushy tail that arches over the back. Etymology The name comes from the Kunwinjku language of West Arnhem Land. The animal has also lent its name to the well known rock group from the area, Nabarlek. Taxonomy John Gould presented a description of this species to the Zoological Society of London in 1842, which was published in its ''Proceedings'' and introduced by the presiding chair William Yarrell as "two new species of Kangaroo".
