MONJON

The 'Monjon' (''Petrogale burbidgei''), also known as the 'Warabi', is the smallest of the many species of rock-wallaby found in Australia. It is found in areas of the Kimberley region of Western Australia and also on some islands in the Bonaparte Archipelago.

The Monjon was described in 1978, having long eluded discovery. This is largely because of its very timid nature, its small size (300-350mm long) and its limited distribution. It is still very little-known.
The Monjon is an olive-buff colour with a white stripe over its hip. It is listed as near threatened, partly because of the small size of its known range.
