Details
The red-legged pademelon averages under 60 centimeters in height and is named after its reddish-brown hind limbs. It is a solitary nocturnal animal, but sometimes appears in groups in food-rich areas. The red-legged pademelon moves in the day time only in dense rainforests. Their strong tails can be used as a fifth leg to support the entire body weight.
