| Scientists from the University of Melbourne, leading an international research collaboration, have succeeded in sequencing the genetic makeup of the tammar wallaby. |
| Interestingly, the honey possum belongs to the same marsupial taxonomic division as the dichromatic tammar wallaby. |
| Then see tammar wallabies, brush-tailed possums and kangaroos at their most active on a nocturnal tour from American River. |
| Extensive mapping of the Y chromosome in the tammar wallaby had shown that the origin of the Y predated the divergence of marsupials from eutherian mammals. |
| The tammar wallaby is the Australian marsupial model for genetic mapping studies. |
| The islands are nature reserves and provide refuges for such diverse wildlife as Cape Barren geese, sea lions, tammar wallabies and death adders. |
