Stink

I removed this line, which was found to be unverifiable: "also known as the stink wallaby. noticed from the base of there ears and the cloaca"   Chris the speller 17:59, 24 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

A Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) joey. The Swamp Wallaby is found along the entire east coast of Australia. It was formerly found through to south-eastern South Australia, but is now rare or absent from that region. It inhabits thick undergrowth in forests and woodlands, or shelter during the day in thick grass or ferns, emerging at night to feed.Photo: Benjamint444

Human use

edit

There are two sentences in Taxonomy that relate to human use. The first sentence has been awaiting a citation since 2008. I did a reasonably thorough search and cannot find supporting evidence.

The second sentence is written in the present tense, and, as far as I am aware, the Swamp Wallaby is no longer commercially shot. The citation used is 40 years old and difficult to access. It appears that even when the species was hunted it made up an insignificant part of the catch, and not because it was unpopular.

The sentences would need there own section to remain in the article. I don't think either are worthy and I am removing. Jameel the Saluki (talk) 11:32, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
