This cute little wallaby was standing in just the right spot at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, catching the rays of the lunchtime sun.

Smaller than a kangaroo, wallabies fall under the same classification known as macropods. Did you know there are around 30 species of wallaby? Sadly, most rock wallaby species are now endangered due to deforestation, livestock grazing, and introduced species of predators such as foxes.
