I’ve posted a few of these rare white wallabies before. Here’s another one carrying a joey. The white morph isn’t always passed on to the babies. In fact, more often than not, the joey is born without the genetic anomaly. Bruny Island off the coast of Tasmania is one of the best places to see white wallabies. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 350mm) ISO 1600, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second.
What a great shot. I immediately noticed the notches in mama’s ears & wonder if she was born with them, in which case, how did those notches form? By accident, perhaps? The joey seems to have perfectly formed ears. Thanks for sharing your image of such a rare Wallaby, Sean!
