An extension to the known range of the eastern grey kangaroo Macropus giganteus on Cape York Peninsula.

Abstract

THE eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is one of Australia’s widest-ranging large macropodids, occurring in open forests, woodlands, subalpine woodland, farmland, and semi-arid regions throughout most of eastern Australia (Menkhorst and Knight 2001). However current general accounts (e.g., Poole 1995, Menkhorst and Knight 2001) regard M. giganteus as being absent from the northern Cape York Peninsula.
