Original – Female bridled nail-tail wallaby (Onychogalea fraenata) with a joey in its pouch at David Fleay Wildlife Park, Burleigh Heads, Queensland

ALT – The same animal in a different view

Reason

This is a high-resolution image of a very rare and endangered Australian macropod. I have added an ALT image of the same animal, though I still prefer the earlier auxiliary view because it better shows the key distinguishing characteristics of this species: the white "bridle" line and black dorsal line on the neck and shoulders, and the horny spur on the end of its tail.

• Oppose. Not a favourable angle (usually a more side-on view is preferable) and image quality is not great. There's a strange blue tint to a lot of the lighter parts of the wallaby. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:18, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
