Found this incredible leucistic wallaby on the drive home today, can't tell the species without the normal colouration!

@Sunray spotted this guy while I was driving and got me to slam on the brakes and reverse!

Yes @Csteele4, Leucistic RNW. I based the ID on ear colour, muzzle shape and colour, sense of a different fur colour on the rump (reddish in a normal RNW) and overall size.
