Wallaby Wednesday!

Awhile back on Facebook, Smithsonian Libraries suggested that #WallabyWednesday be a thing. So in keeping with that request, here are two Banded Hare-wallabies (Lagostrophus fasciatus). These were illustrated by Henry Constantine Richter for John Gould’s A Monograph of the Macropodiae, or Family of Kangaroos (1841-42). And BONUS! @smithsonianlibraries contributed this book for digitization in BHLib!

Day Job share! Today is obviously Wallaby Wednesday. This is Laura, a red-necked wallaby I get to work with. She's super sweet and loves to get head rubs and chest scratches but, for her safety, we can't do that right now (she does not like that...). Hasn't stopped her from being photogenic though. . . . . . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #dayjob #wallaby #wallabywednesday #marsupial #macropod #redneckedwallaby #sweetie #photogenic #thoseeyelashes #cuteanimals #animalphotography #wildlifeconservation #wildlifephotography #sandiegozooglobal #endextinction #sdzsafaripark @sdzsafaripark #sandiegozoosafaripark #safaripark https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVqF3RhajX/?igshid=j8orjyclzkog

With the scores locked up in the dying stages of the @Wallabies' 1999 Rugby World Cup semi-final against the Springboks, the mercurial Stephen Larkham stepped up to kick his first-ever drop goal in the Test arena. Tag a mate who misses this era of Australian rugby. . . #Rugby #Wallabies #RugbyUnion #Throwback #Flashback #WallabyWednesday

Ok I have to admit to all yall Aussies out there, you put up quite a fight, respect. I wanted to say stick to rugby, but it was a close call. The country color and initials on my cap salute you! #aussiesaintnopussies #wallabywednesday #respect #fifa #worldcup #partyallnightlong #australia #melbourne #sydney #netherlands #orange #3-2-1withouttheone #football #huphollandhup #ishablaaker (at Stadhuisplein Rotterdam)
