Red-necked wallabies are distinguished by their black nose and paws, white stripe on the upper lip, and grizzled medium grey coat with a reddish wash across the shoulders.
They can weigh 13.8 to 18.6 kilograms (30 to 41 lb) and attain a head-body length of 90 centimetres (35 in), although males are generally bigger than females.
Red-necked wallabies are very similar in appearance to the black-striped wallaby (Macropus dorsalis), the only difference being that red-necked wallabies are larger, lack a black stripe down the back, and have softer fur.
Red-necked wallabies may live up to 9 years.
