The allied rock-wallaby (Petrogale assimilis) is a species of rock-wallaby found in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is very similar to six other species of rock-wallaby found in this area, including the Cape York rock-wallaby (P. coenensis), the unadorned rock-wallaby (P. inornata), and Herbert's rock-wallaby (P. herberti).
The allied rock-wallaby is found in the hinterland of Townsville, and also on Magnetic and Palm Islands. There are few distinguishing features from its close relatives in the field.
Famous quotes containing the word allied:
“Can love be in aught allied to dissipation? Let us love by refusing, not accepting one another. Love and lust are far asunder. The one is good, the other bad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
