Original – Female bridled nail-tail wallaby (Onychogalea fraenata) with a joey in its pouch at David Fleay Wildlife Park, Burleigh Heads, Queensland
 
ALT – The same animal in a different view
Reason
This is a high-resolution image of a very rare and endangered Australian macropod. I have added an ALT image of the same animal, though I still prefer the earlier auxiliary view because it better shows the key distinguishing characteristics of this species: the white "bridle" line and black dorsal line on the neck and shoulders, and the horny spur on the end of its tail.
