The swamp wallaby, also known as the black wallaby, is a marsupial species found in the eastern regions of Australia. It is a medium-sized animal with dark fur that helps it blend into its surroundings and avoid predators. While swamp wallaby is the most commonly used name for this species, it is also known as the black-tailed wallaby, the stinker, and the fern wallaby. The use of different names for the same animal is common among species found in different regions and is often influenced by local dialects and traditions. Synonyms such as these allow for variations in language while still effectively communicating the same meaning.
