      型態:灰袋鼠全身棕灰色,腹側毛色較白,尾巴末三分之一呈黑色。體型上具明顯的雌雄二型性。

      生態:灰袋鼠生活在硬葉林、灌叢地以及草原,也會出沒於一些人為干擾的區域,例如仍保有部分原始植被的農地以及高爾夫球場等。灰袋鼠於夜晚、黃昏以及拂曉活動覓食,其為專一性的草食動物,以多種植物為食,例如草本植物、灌木樹葉、蕨類以及植物種子等。灰袋鼠為群居動物,一個族群約有2至20隻個體,視氣候或是食物豐度而異。灰袋鼠全年皆可繁殖,但冬天繁殖量較少。孕期為36天,幼仔會待在育兒袋11個月,並在第18個月離乳。

      形質:雄灰袋鼠體長可達230公分、85公斤,雌灰袋鼠則約185公分、45公斤。
