05- Name:  Crescent Nailtail Wallaby
Scientific Name:  Onychogalea lunata

This small, beautiful wallaby had a strange nail-like growth on the end of its tail. It lived in dry scrubby country in central and Western Australia. The last live specimen was seen in 1928, although the species survived until the 1950s. The spread of foxes probably caused its extinction.
