No species of the same family or order lives in Litchfield National Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other mammals.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Agile Wallaby sighting in Litchfield National Park on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report an Agile Wallaby in Litchfield National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January–February and October, the lowest months. That is one of Litchfield National Park's wettest months, with about 290 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Agile Wallaby sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Agile Wallaby sightings, Litchfield National Park ranks 2nd at about 40%. The best odds are in Kakadu National Park (Australia, about 60%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Agile Wallaby is recorded against all the mammals logged in Litchfield National Park (31 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
