The name Thylogale stigmatica means "prickled (pattern) pouched-weasel". The name pademelon comes from the Aboriginal word "paddymalla" which means small kangaroo from the forest.
Although humans clear away the forest area the pademelons live in, the cleared area becomes grassy. These areas are used during nocturnal feeding by pademelons.
The main predators of T. stigmatica are dingos (Canis lupus dingo), tiger quolls (Dasyurus maculatus), amethystine pythons (Morelia amethistina), and domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). The rate of predation increases following a forest fire, when there is less forest cover.
They detect predators by spreading out when foraging. Each pademelon can watch for predators in its vicinity. If a predator is seen, a warning to others in the area is spread by a thumping sound made with the hind legs.
Known Predators:
Red-legged pademelons have thick, soft fur and a short stout tail. They also have round ears, a naked nose, and red-brown markings on their cheeks, thighs and forearms. Pademelons that live in dark forest regions have dark grey-brown coats and cream colored bellies. Populations that live in open areas have pale grey-brown coats and pale grey bellies. Their hindfeet have no first digit, while the second and third digits are fused (a condition called syndactyly, common to all members of the family Macropodidae). The fourth digit is long.
Pademelons are small when compared to other species in Macropodidae; their average height is 0.762 m. Males have head and body lengths ranging from 470 to 536 mm. Their tails vary from 372 to 473 mm. A male’s weight ranges from 3.7 to 6.8 kg.
Female pademelons are smaller than males with head and body lengths ranging from 386 to 520 mm. Their tails can be between 301 to 445 mm. Females weigh between 2.5 to 4.2 kg.
Range mass: 2.5 to 6.8 kg.

On the eastern coast of Australia, pademelons can be found in rainforests, wet sclerophyll forests, and dry vine scrub forests. Northern populations use the grassy forest edge and inner portions of the forest. Pademelons in the southern regions of their habitat rarely venture beyond the forest edge. Thylogale stigmatica is also located in the lowland rainforests and low mixed savanna thickets near swamps in the southern Fly River area of New Guinea.

Thylogale stigmatica, or red-legged pademelon, is found in Australia and New Guinea. In Australia, they can be found between the tip of Cape York to the southern portion of Tamworth. In New Guinea, they are located in the southern Fly River area.
Biogeographic Regions: australian (Native )
The diet of red-legged pademelons is primarily composed of fallen leaves and fruits. They have also been known to eat fresh leaves. Some of the leaves they consume are known to be poisonous. To combat this, they use an enzyme called GST. One of the favorite foods of T. stigmatica is the Moreton bay fig (Fiscus macrophylla). Other fruits that make up part of their diet are the Burdekin plum in the northern region and berries. Some plants that make up their diet are dicotyledonous plants, Fishborne ferns, and king orchids. During nocturnal grazing, they consume grasses like Paspalum notatum and Cyrtococum oxyphylum. They have also been known to eat the bark of trees, fungus, and cicadas.
Animal Foods: insects
Plant Foods: leaves; wood, bark, or stems; seeds, grains, and nuts; fruit; flowers
Other Foods: fungus
Primary Diet: herbivore (Folivore , Frugivore )
The dingo’s main diet is composed of red-legged pademelons when they are available. Thylogale stigmatica has the potential to damage or kill young saplings when eating or stepping on them. There has also been a case of crops being eaten.
Pademelons are subject to various parasites such as coccidiosis (infects the intestines), ticks, and toxoplasmosis (believed to come from cats).
Commensal/Parasitic Species:
Pademelons, along with many other species of Macropodidae in Australia, are important members of the ecosystems in which they live and are important ecotourism attractions.
Positive Impacts: ecotourism
Pademelons may eat crops very rarely.
Negative Impacts: crop pest
Clearing of the red-legged pademelons' habitat is cause for concern, but at this time there are enough parks and reserves to keep T. stigmatica off of conservation lists and keep their status secure.
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: no special status
State of Michigan List: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
Red-legged pademelons communicate mainly through sound. The soft clucking sound used by a mother to call her young is similar to the sound that is made by a male trying to court a female. When frightened, they give an alarm thump, which is created with their hindfeet to alert surrounding pademelons. It is at this time that they use the pre-made runways in the forest to quickly retreat.
Communication Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; vibrations ; chemical
Thylogale stigmatica is polygynous, and as a result of its solitary behavior, mating is one of the few times they can be found together in the wild. When males begin the courtship ritual, they make soft clucking sounds to let their intentions be known. Females that reject a courting male make harsh rasping sounds.
When fighting over a female, two males hold their heads back to protect their eyes while standing upright on their hindlegs. The object of the fight is to swing their claws at each other and knock the opponent off balance. When a male has accomplished this, he kicks the opponent in the abdomen. The fighting can often lead to loss of fur.
Mating System: polygynous
Red-legged pademelons give birth year round in captivity. In the wild, births usually occur between October and June and result in one young. Postpartum mating usually occurs 2 to 12 hours after giving birth. As the young reaches the blastocyst phase of development, embryonic diapause occurs.
The estrus cycle generally lasts 31 days and is followed by a gestation period of 28 to 30 days. When the young is born, the infant climbs into the pouch of the mother pademelon with its well-developed forelimbs, as is true of all marsupials. The infant stays in the pouch for 184 days.
While it is in the pouch, an infant's sex is distinguishable even after 21 to 28 days. Vibrissae appear 56 to 70 days after birth. The pinnae become erect after 105 to 126 days, and teat detachment occurs 91 to 126 days after birth. The hair becomes visible after 133 to 147 days, and the eyes open after 112 to 126 days. Emergence from the pouch is measured by the condition of the feet of the pademelon, which become dirty once it leaves the pouch. Emergence occurs between 133 to 182 days after birth.
After leaving the pouch, the young only uses one teat, leaving the other for its sibling. Mothers produce two types of milk while lactating. Weaning generally occurs between 44 to 111 days after the young permanently leaves the pouch. Sexual maturity is reached 307 to 412 days (females) and 451 to 522 days (males) after leaving the pouch.
Breeding interval: The peak season for breeding occurs in the spring but can occur year round.
Breeding season: Mating can be observed from October to June.
Range number of offspring: 1 to 1.
Range gestation period: 28 to 30 days.
Range weaning age: 44 to 111 days.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 307 to 412 days.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 451 to 522 days.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; year-round breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; viviparous ; embryonic diapause ; post-partum estrous
Average number of offspring: 1.
After emerging from the pouch, the mother protects and teaches the infant what and where to forage. Even after pademelons leave the pouch, suckling of milk from the mother occurs to supplement the diet. The role of father pademelons in the caring and raising of the young is unknown.

Der Rotbeinfilander (Thylogale stigmatica) ist eine Känguruart aus der Gattung der Filander (Thylogale).
Rotbeinfilander sind relativ kleine Vertreter der Kängurus. Sie erreichen eine Kopfrumpflänge von 39 bis 54 Zentimetern, der Schwanz wird 30 bis 47 Zentimeter lang. Das Gewicht beträgt 2,5 bis 6,8 Kilogramm, wobei Männchen deutlich größer und schwerer werden als Weibchen. Wie bei den meisten Kängurus sind die Hinterbeine deutlich länger und kräftiger als die Vorderbeine. Das Fell dieser Tiere ist am Rücken graubraun gefärbt, das Gesicht, die Flanken und die Hinterbeine sind rötlichbraun. An den Hüften befinden sich auffällige weißgelbe Streifen.
Diese Kängurus bewohnen das südliche Neuguinea sowie die Ostküste Australiens von der Kap-York-Halbinsel bis in das mittlere New South Wales. Ihr Lebensraum sind vorwiegend Wälder, wobei sie in Regen-, Hartlaub- und anderen Waldformen vorkommen können. Sie sind vom Meeresspiegel bis in 1200 Meter Seehöhe zu finden.
Rotbeinfilander sind vorwiegend nachtaktiv. Tagsüber schlafen sie im Inneren der Wälder in dichter Vegetation verborgen, in der Nacht gehen sie auf Nahrungssuche, wozu sie die Waldränder aufsuchen. Im Bedrohungsfall kehren sie sofort in das schützende Waldinnere zurück. Sie leben vorwiegend einzelgängerisch, schließen sich aber bei der Nahrungssuche manchmal zu kleinen Gruppen zusammen.
Ihre Nahrung besteht vorwiegend aus zu Boden gefallenen Blättern und Früchten, manchmal fressen sie auch frische Blätter oder Gräser. Wie alle Kängurus haben sie einen mehrkammerigen Magen zur besseren Verwertung der schwer verdaulichen Pflanzennahrung.
Die Fortpflanzung erfolgt zwischen Oktober und Juni, nach einer 28- bis 30-tägigen Tragzeit bringt das Weibchen meist ein einzelnes Jungtier zur Welt. Wie bei anderen Kängurus auch kommt es bei ihnen zur verzögerten Geburt. Die Neugeborenen verbringen ihre ersten Lebensmonate im Beutel der Mutter und kommen nach 4,5 bis 6 Monaten erstmals heraus. Nach weiteren 1,5 bis 3 Monaten werden sie endgültig entwöhnt.
Es werden vier Unterarten unterschieden:[1]
T. s. wilcoxi weicht genetisch stark von den anderen drei Unterarten ab und könnte eine selbständige Art sein. T. s. coxenii und T. s. oriomo unterscheiden sich dagegen kaum und es ist zweifelhaft ob sie als separate Unterarten klassifiziert werden sollen.[1][2]
Rotbeinfilander sind relativ weit verbreitet und häufig. Gebietsweise sind die Bestände durch Lebensraumzerstörung und Bejagung (in Neuguinea) zurückgegangen, insgesamt ist die Art laut IUCN aber nicht gefährdet.[3]
Der Rotbeinfilander (Thylogale stigmatica) ist eine Känguruart aus der Gattung der Filander (Thylogale).
The red-legged pademelon (Thylogale stigmatica) is a species of small macropod found on the northeastern coast of Australia and in New Guinea. In Australia it has a scattered distribution from the tip of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland to around Tamworth in New South Wales.[3] In New Guinea it is found in south central lowlands.[4]
The red-legged pademelon is usually solitary but may group together when feeding.[5] It is found mostly in rainforests, where it is rarely seen, but it is not considered threatened.[2] In New South Wales, however, it is considered to be vulnerable.[6] It feeds on fallen fruit, leaves and grasses.[3] It weighs 2.5 to 7 kg and is 38–58 cm long with a 30–47 cm tail.[5]
There are four subspecies of the red-legged pademelon:[1]
The red-legged pademelon, a member of the family Macropodidae (which includes wallabies, kangaroos, etc.), is a kangaroo species that inhabits the rainforests. Like many marsupials, the newborn pademelon is underdeveloped and is carried and nursed in a pouch on the mother's belly. Red-legged pademelons are unique in that they are the only ground-dwelling wallaby that resides in the Wet Tropics rainforests. Although there are several subspecies of red-legged pademelon, this article focuses on Thylogale stigmatica (T. stigmatica). They can be found in both rainforests and open areas.
Red-legged pademelons have soft thick fur, grey-brown on the back and cream on the belly. The cheeks forearms, outside and inside of their hind legs are a rusty brown colour. Its common name refers to the rusty colour on the limbs. They also have a pale cream stripe on their outer thigh. Rainforest forms are usually darker in colour than those from the open country.
Pademelons have a short and thick tail, and their height can range from 35-58 cm when not standing upright. An average-sized pademelon may stand at a height of 2+1/2 feet (76 cm). Additionally, their tail measures between 30-47 cm in length and their weight varies from 2.5 to 7 kg.
Due to land clearance, red-legged pademelons have suffered a reduction in range, but they still remain common where the habitat remains, and they are not seriously disturbed by selective loggings. Distribution is discontinuous, especially in the north where it appears to be limited by the availability of vegetation providing satisfactory cover. The red-legged pademelon seems to prefer rainforest areas, but is also found near both sclerophyll and dry vine scrubs. Extensive rainforest clearing has reduced its available habitat, but sufficient parks and reserves currently exist throughout their range to secure their status. Forest clearing may benefit the red-legged pademelon to a certain point. A higher number of forest fragments means the pademelons have more adequate pastures that provide them with sufficient food. Only two types of subspecies inhabit Australia; Thylogale stigmatica and the Thylogale wilcoxi.
Red-legged pademelons mainly eat fallen leaves, but sometimes they eat fresh leaves. They also feed on fruits and berries from shrubs, the Moreton Bay Fig from the southern part of its range and the fruit of the Burdekin plum from the northern part. The Moreton Bay Fig and the Burdekin Plum are major food sources. They sometimes eat the fishbone fern, king orchid, and grasses like Paspalum notatum and Cyrtococcum oxyphyllum. Red-legged pademelons eat the bark of trees and cicadas. They affect regeneration of the rainforest as they browse on the young trees and can seriously impede their growth or even kill them. They are one of the very few animals, and the only known mammal, that can eat the leaves of the Gympie Gympie (Dendrocnide moroides), whose undersides are coated in thousands of fine silica needles that can inject a potent neurotoxin.[7]
The red-legged pademelon lifespan ranges between 4 and 9.7 years. This can be due to predation and forest fire. After a forest fire, predation levels increase due to reduced forest cover.
Pademelons have a gestation period of 28–30 days. Their oestrous cycle is 29–32 days. Mating occurs 2–12 hours after the birth of the young.[8] The gender of pouch-young is distinguished at 3 to 4 weeks. Teat detachment occurs at 13–18 weeks. Ears become erect at 15–18 weeks. Eyes open at 16–18 weeks. Hair becomes visible at 19–21 weeks. Young venture out of pouch at 22–26 weeks. Young leave the pouch at 26–28 weeks. Young start eating food at approximately 66 days after leaving the pouch. Females become mature at about 48 weeks. Males become mature at about 66 weeks. Then the process starts again. When it is born, the tiny blind baby has only been developing for 3 to 6 weeks. Its limbs are hardly developed but its forelimbs are well enough developed to haul itself through its mother's belly hair to reach the pouch. Shortly after giving birth the female macropod becomes receptive again. If she successfully mates, she will again fall pregnant.
The female macropod enters a state of embryonic diapause if she becomes pregnant. This causes the blastocyst, or new embryo, to enter a state of suspended animation until its older sibling is old enough to leave the pouch. Once the joey leaves, the blastocyst resumes development. Even after leaving the pouch, the joey may continue to suckle from the teat it used while in the pouch. This enables the mother to provide different types of milk for the more developed and less developed offspring. This reproductive strategy is also used by honey possums, bats, seals, and other macropods. Embryonic diapause is highly efficient as it allows for the rapid replacement of lost or deceased young.
Females of the species have a pouch in which they keep their incompletely developed young. Mother red-legged pademelons make soft clucking noises to call their young. They are often found in small groups, foraging 30-50m apart so that they can warn each other of oncoming predators. They are largely nocturnal.
Red-legged pademelon behaviour varies under different circumstances. They are least active in the hours around midday and midnight. Late afternoon, evening and early morning they can be seen grazing on open grassland near the rainforest edges but quickly retreat into the forest if disturbed. They are generally solitary but may group together at night while feeding on grasslands. They feed at equal distances apart and are under the control of one dominant pademelon that controls their feeding area and sets their feeding distance. They communicate by vocalisations and thumping their heels on the ground. They use several vocalizations in social behaviour. In hostile interactions and if a female rejects a male during courtship, a harsh rasping sound is uttered. Soft clucking sounds are made by the courting male, similar sounds are made when a mother is calling her young.
The security of their family structure, as well as their speed and agility in closed rainforest protects them against most feral animal attacks. When the animal is resting, it sits on the base of its tail whilst placing the rest of it between the hind legs. The animal then leans back against a rock or sapling. As it falls asleep, its head leans forward to rest on the tail or on the ground beside it.
The main predators of Thylogale stigmatica are dingoes, tiger quolls, amethystine pythons, and occasionally feral domestic dogs. The rate of predation increases following a forest fire, when there is less forest cover. They detect predators by spreading out when foraging. Each pademelon can watch for predators on its particular area. If a predator is seen, a warning to others in the area is spread by a thumping sound made by the hind legs.

Le pademelon à pattes rouges (Thylogale stigmatica; en anglais : The Red-legged Pademelon) est une espèce de petit Macropodidae du Nord de l'Australie et de Nouvelle-Guinée
Il mesure 49 cm (de 38 à 58 cm) de la tête à la racine de la queue avec une queue de 44 cm (de 30 à 47 cm) et pèse 5,1 kg (entre 2,5 et 7 kg) pour le mâle, 4,1 kg pour la femelle. Il a un pelage brun sur le dos, crème sur le ventre. Les joues, les pattes avant et arrière sont rousses. Les deux premiers orteils sont soudés mais portent deux griffes.
On le trouve depuis l'extrémité de la péninsule du Cap York au Queensland, jusqu'à Tamworth en Nouvelle-Galles-du-Sud. En Nouvelle-Guinée, on le trouve dans la partie Sud des plaines centrales.
Il vit dans les forêts humides de la région (c'est le seul des pademelons à vivre en forêt humide), quelquefois dans les forêts sclérophyles.
Il se nourrit de fruits, de feuilles et de champignons trouvés dans la forêt. La nuit, il va brouter dans les clairières
C'est un animal nocturne et solitaire qui ne se regroupe en bandes que la nuit pour se nourrir.
Les jeunes deviennent matûres vers 1 an (un peu plus tard pour les mâles que pour les femelles). Il n'y a pas de saison de reproduction. La durée de gestation est d'environ un mois. Il y a un petit par portée. Si un autre ovule est fécondé après la mise bas, son développement ne démarrera que lorsque son prédécesseur quittera la poche marsupiale ou mourra. Le petit reste vingt six semaines dans la poche.
On en distingue quatre sous-espèces:
Le pademelon à pattes rouges (Thylogale stigmatica; en anglais : The Red-legged Pademelon) est une espèce de petit Macropodidae du Nord de l'Australie et de Nouvelle-Guinée
Il pademelon dalle zampe rosse (Thylogale stigmatica Gould, 1860) è un piccolo Macropodide diffuso lungo le coste nord-orientali dell'Australia e in Nuova Guinea. In Australia è presente con un areale molto frammentato dall'estremità della Penisola di Capo York, nel Queensland, fino ai pressi di Tamworth, nel Nuovo Galles del Sud[3]. In Nuova Guinea, invece, è diffuso nei bassopiani delle regioni centro-meridionali[4].
Il pademelon dalle zampe rosse ha abitudini generalmente solitarie, ma mentre si nutre può riunirsi in piccoli gruppi[5]. Vive soprattutto nelle foreste pluviali, dove viene avvistato solo di rado, ma non è considerato minacciato[2]. In Nuovo Galles del Sud, comunque, è ritenuto vulnerabile[6]. Si nutre di frutti caduti, foglie ed erba[3]. Pesa da 2,5 a 7 kg, è lungo 38–58 cm ed ha una coda di 30–47 cm[5].
Sono riconosciute quattro sottospecie[1]:

De roodpootpademelon (Thylogale stigmatica) is een kangoeroe uit het geslacht Thylogale. Deze soort leeft in het oosten van Australië en in zuidelijk Nieuw-Guinea.
De roodpootpademelon heeft een lichaamslengte van 53 tot 62 cm en een staart van 32 tot 45 cm lang. Het gewicht bedraagt 4 tot 6.5 kg. Mannelijke dieren zijn over het algemeen groter dan vrouwelijke roodpootpademelons. Het is een steviggebouwd dier met een korte, stijve staart die in rust tussen de achterpoten en het onderlichaam wordt gehouden. De rug is grijsbruin van kleur, de buik en hals zijn roomwit en de flanken, kop en poten zijn roodbruin.
De roodpootpademelon is een planteneter die meestal solitair en soms in kleine groepen leeft. Deze soort is actief tijdens zowel de dag als de nacht. Overdag gaat de roodpootpademelon in het bos op zoek naar bladeren en afgevallen vruchten. 's Nachts verlaat het dier het bos om zich te voeden met gras. De roodpootpademelon gaat zelden meer dan zeventig meter van de bosrand vandaan tijdens het grazen. Bij gevaar vlucht het dier terug naar het bos. De roodpootpademelon kan tot acht jaar oud worden.
De roodpootpademelon leeft in de dichte regenwouden, eucalyptusbossen en boomsavannes van de Australische oostkust en zuidelijk Nieuw-Guinea. In Australië komt de soort voor van het noorden van het Kaap York-schiereiland in Queensland tot Tamworth en Sydney in Nieuw-Zuid-Wales. In Nieuw-Guinea leeft de roodpootpademelon alleen in de savannes ten zuiden van de rivier Fly in zuidwestelijk Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea.
Er worden vier ondersoorten onderscheiden: T. s. stigmatica uit de regio rondom Cairns in Queensland, T. s. coxenii die in Kaap York leeft, T. s. wilcoxi uit Nieuw-Zuid-Wales en zuidelijk Queensland, en T. s. oriomo die voorkomt op Nieuw-Guinea.

V niekoľko poddruhoch pozdĺž východného pobrežia od severného Nového Južného Walesu až po špičku Yorského polostrova. Je to zviera žijúce v miernom pásme tropických dažďových lesov, preto ho pomerne ľahko poznáme.
Túto kenguru stretneme v dažďových lesoch východného pobrežia zrejme najčastejšie. Je súmrakovým a nočným zvieraťom a večer vylieza z húštinách na paseky za potravou. Možno ho tu dobre pozorovať. Za potravu mu slúži predovšetkým spadané listí, živí sa však i rôznymi plodmi a hubami.

Dĺžka tela 40 – 55 cm Hmotnosť 4 – 6,5 kgRödbent buskvallaby (Thylogale stigmatica[2][3][4][5]) är en pungdjursart som först beskrevs av John Gould 1860. Thylogale stigmatica ingår i släktet buskvallabyer och familjen kängurudjur.[6][7] IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig.[1]
Honor av detta buskvallaby når en kroppslängd (huvud och bål) av 38,6 till 52,0 cm, en svanslängd av 30,1 till 44,5 cm och en vikt av 2,5 till 4,2 kg. Hannar är 47 till 53,6 cm långa (huvud och bål), med en 37,2 till 47,3 cm lång svans och med en vikt av 3,7 till 6,8 kg.[8] Den tjocka och mjuka pälsen är hos exemplar som lever i täta skogar mörk gråbrun på ovansidan och krämfärgad på undersidan. Hos individer som lever i öppnare landskap är ovansidan ljusare gråbrun och undersidan ljusgrå. Arten har rödbruna märken på kinderna samt på extremiteterna. Hos rödbent buskvallaby saknas en stortå vid bakfoten, den andra och den tredje tån är sammanvuxna med varandra och den fjärde tån är lång. Individer som står på bakfötterna är cirka 76 cm höga.[8]
Pungdjuret förekommer på södra Nya Guinea, på Kap Yorkhalvön och i en smal remsa längs Australiens nordöstra kust. Arten vistas i låglandet och i bergstrakter som är upp till 1 200 meter höga. Habitatet utgörs av olika slags skogar.[1]
Rödbent buskvallaby hittas ensam eller i lösa grupper utan tydliga sociala band. Under soliga vinterdagar syns ofta flera exemplar på en solig skogsglänta för att få värme. Djuret har inga fasta aktivitetstider men den vilar oftast under dagens hetaste timmar. För att varna varandra för faror trummar individerna med bakfoten på marken.[8]
Arten äter huvudsakligen frukter och blad som föll ner till marken. Frukter som ingår i födan är bland annat magnoliafikus (Ficus macrophylla) och Pleiogynium timorense. Dessutom äts ormbunkar som Nephrolepis cordifolia, orkidéer som Dendrobium speciosum samt gräs (bland annat Paspalum notatum och Cyrtococcum oxyphyllum). Födan kompletteras med bark, svampar och insekter.[8]
Honor blir brunstiga inom 2 till 12 timmar efter födelsen av en unge. Vid denna tid förekommer strider mellan hannar om rätten att para sig. De boxar mot motståndarens mage vad som kan medföra mindre sår och skador i pälsen. Efter parningen utvecklas det befruktade ägget till en blastocyst och sedan följer en vilotid. Under denna tid lever det äldre syskonet i moderns pung (marsupium) och får di. När det äldre syskonet lämnar pungen fortsätter blastocystens utveckling och den egentliga dräktigheten varar 28 till 30 dagar. Vid födelsen är ungen bara rudimentärt utvecklad men den kan kravla till pungen. De yttre öronen som i början täcker öronens öppningar lyftas efter 105 till 126 dagar och ögonen öppnas kort efteråt eller samtidig. Ungen får päls efter 133 till 147 dagar och den lämnar pungen efter 133 till 187 dagar.[8]
Ungen som lämnade pungen diar sin mor ytterligare 44 till 111 dagar. Den använder en annan spene än det yngre syskonet. Honor blir könsmogna efter ungefär ett år och hannar lite senare. I naturen sker parningen mellan våren och hösten (oktober till juni på södra jordklotet).[8]
Rödbent buskvallaby jagas av större rovlevande djur som dingo, pungmårdar, hund och större ormar (till exempel ametistpyton).[8]

Зустрічається на крайньому півдні острова Нова Гвінея і протягом значної частини східної Австралії, від півострова Кейп-Йорк в сходу Нового Південного Уельсу. Діапазон проживання за висотою: від рівня моря до 1200 м над рівнем моря. У значній мірі солітарний лісовий вид. Живе у рівнинних і гірських вологих тропічних лісах, вологих склерофільних лісах, низьких напіввічнозелених лісах і зрідка зустрічаються в заростях лантану в колишніх лісових районах. У Новій Гвінеї обмежений галерейними лісами, уникаючи сусідні луки і змагається з видом Thylogale brunii, бо займає однакове місцепроживання.
Серйозних загроз для виду нема. В Австралії деякою загрозою є хижацтво з боку собак. У Новій Гвінеї загрозою є полювання задля м'яса. Присутній на багатьох охоронних територіях в Австралії і не присутній в природоохоронних зонах у Новій Гвінеї.

Красноногий филандер[1][2], или обожжённый кенгуру[2] (лат. Thylogale stigmatica) — сумчатое млекопитающее семейства кенгуровых.
Длина тела составляет от39 до 54 см, длина хвоста — от 30 до 47 см, масса — от 2,5 до 6,8 кг. Самцы крупнее и тяжелее чем самки. Окраска меха на спине серо-коричневого цвета, морда, боковые стороны тела и задние конечности красно-коричневого цвета. На бёдрах имеются яркие желтовато-белые полосы.
Встречается на крайнем юге острова Новая Гвинея и на значительной части восточной Австралии, от полуострова Кейп-Йорк до востока Нового Южного Уэльса. Диапазон проживания по высоте — от уровня моря до 1200 м над уровнем моря. В значительной степени солитарный лесной вид. Живёт в равнинных и горных влажных тропических лесах, влажных склерофитных лесах, низких полувечнозелёных лесах и изредка встречаются в зарослях лантана в бывших лесных районах. В Новой Гвинее ареал ограничен галерейными лесами, избегает соседние луга и соперничает с видом Thylogale brunii, занимая одинаковые места обитания.
Ведёт преимущественно ночной, одиночный образ жизни. Днём животные спят, укрывшись в густой растительности лесов. Ночью выходят на поиски корма на окраины леса, объединяясь в небольшие группы. В случае опасности скрываются бегством в лесу. Питаются опавшими листьями и плодами деревьев, иногда кормятся свежими листьями и травой.
Размножение происходит с октября по июнь. После 28—30-дневного периода беременности самка рождает обычно одного детёныша. Новорожденный проводит первые месяцы жизни в сумке матери и в возрасте 4,5—6 месяцев выходит из неё. Еще через 1,5—3 месяца он окончательно покидает её.
Серьёзных угроз для вида не существует. В Австралии некоторой угрозой является хищничество со стороны собак. В Новой Гвинее угрозой является охота ради мяса. Присутствует на многих охраняемых районах в Австралии и не присутствует в природоохранных зонах в Новой Гвинее.
