Three Red Kangaroos and an Agile Wallaby on the left.
 
Thanks Hix I think the agile wallaby is one of the prettiest animals around, tough i don't remember them from my visit only from these old photos.
I take it it's agile as they are fast moving? also are the grey ones young Reds? or females? my knowledge on roos is rather limited.

Agile wallabies are one of my favourite macropods too. I love the markings on their face.

Also it's the female red kangaroos that are grey. It's easy to tell that they're red kangaroos by the square-ish shape of their heads.
 
The grey ones are females (also known as 'blue flyers', or so the books say).

As for the Agile Wallaby - I just quickly checked my references and none of them say why it is called Agile, nor do they say it is any more agile than other macropods.
