The common wallaroo (Osphranter robustus), also known as the euro, hill wallaroo, or simply wallaroo,[2] is a species of macropod. The word euro is particularly applied to one subspecies (O. r. erubescens).[3]
The eastern wallaroo is mostly nocturnal and solitary, and is one of the more common macropods. It makes a loud hissing noise and some of the other subspecies are sexually dimorphic, like most wallaroos.[4]
