A close relative of the strange and very cute dorcopsins (forest-wallabies), today found only in New Guinea. They are very under-studied - we don't even know what they eat, much about how they move, etc.

If ever you are displeased with a taxonomic description, I hope you can be comforted by the low bar set here by George Shaw in 1800 – still the taxonomic authority on the common wombat, Vombatus ursinus...
