Yep, this is a Dusky Pademelon.

By the by, this photograph could probably win an award for the Biggest Set Of Plums In A Photograph :p
 
According to my last visit I was told that they weren't sure yet if they are going to move the dorcopsis back or keep the pademelons there, so that's probably why.

And yes, he has quite a pair of ground-sliders. :p
 
It must be my PC but I can't see any plums (or other fruit) anywhere.

In the 1980s this species was held by Bristol and Blackpool, I visited both zoos and can't remember seeing them. Does anyone know if they ever went on show?
