Rothschild's rock wallaby occurs in Western Australia's Pilbara and Ashburton regions. It uses deep rocky crevices as refuge from daytime heat.
The back ranges from grey to golden-brown, with grey shoulders and a buff to dull-brown belly. Its long brown tail darkens toward the tip, where the fur forms a brush.
It is strongly nocturnal and forages near rocky shelters. Its diet is believed to include soft grasses, herbs and fruit; prickly-pear fruit was observed on West Lewis Island.
