Eastern Gray Kangaroo Macropus giganteus

Description

The skin from any of the long-legged marsupials in the family Macropodidae (Macropus rufus, Macropus giganteus, Macropus fuliginosus) native to Australia and nearby islands. Kangaroos and wallabies have a soft, durable skin that is thin and strong. Usually prepared with a chrome-tanned finish, wallaby or kangaroo leather does not scuff easily and polishes to a high gloss. The skins have been used for bookbinding, shoe uppers, and gloves.
