The spectacled hare-wallaby (''Lagorchestes conspicillatus'') is a species of macropod (hence a marsupial) found in Australia and New Guinea. In Australia, a small sub-population is found on Barrow Island, while the mainland type is widespread, though in decline, across northern regions of the country.〔 ==Description== A species of Lagorchestes, Hare-wallaby, small members of the Macropodidae family. The spectacled hare-wallaby is found across northern Australia in tropical tussock or spinifex habitats. It can be found from Queensland to Western Australia. In 1997 it was discovered in the savanna country of southwest Papua New Guinea.〔 1997 "First record of the Spectacled Hare-wallaby ''Lagorchestes conspicillatus'' (Marsupialia: Macropodidae) in New Guinea" ''Science in New Guinea'' 23(1): 47-51〕 It is a solitary, nocturnal herbivore, and is considerably larger than its relatives. It is coloured grey-brown with golden tips and an orange circle around its eye, from which it gets its name. It builds its nests among the tough vegetation. When disturbed it hops off in a zigzag manner. The young are produced singly at any time of the year and become sexually mature at about a year old.
