EVERYBODY'S FRIEND. Among the common mammals at Lamington National Park is the red-necked pademelon, Thylogale thetis. It is a somewhat diprotodont with a body length of 500mm, tail length of 400mm, and a weight of 6kg. They are common in restricted habitats of rainforest and vine thickets. They are nocturnal and because they graze on grass they are encountered more frequently than most other pademelons. Other mammals we saw included mountain brush-tail possums and common ring-tail possums.
