Geez—I guess the animals were either kept in a “soundproof” room or just naturally did not make much noise, since apparently the neighbors were not aware of this. Hmmmmmmm.
Anyway, I agree it looks like some sort of Indonesian Kangaroo.
Interesting story, for sure.

Indonesian Kangaroo

You’re correct in stating that it is not the common Australian Red Kangaroo. But then again, slightly off-topic, the more often seen (by myself) the Eastern Grey Kangaroo is rarely really all “grey” as the naming may suggest but a varying mixture of grey / tan / brown / reddish colo(u)ring with a black-tipped tail to boot.

I’ll investigate some more to see if I can track down the species in question.

‘What kind of animals are out there in private collections? Are any new species coming into the pet trade straight from indigenous peoples?’

For sale one 3 year old Chupacabra. House trained. Doesn’t do well with other pets especially goats. All shots. $750.

looks to me like a juvenile agile wallaby – macropus agilis, but i am no aussie expert, here in south africa we have real mammals (and rugby teams )
