It’s often referred to as a Macropod Hybrid when two different marsupial species mate with each other. It is relatively uncommon to see Red and Grey Kangaroos mate in the wild. They tend to be on opposite sides of Australia, and the Grey Kangaroo species tend to be much larger than the Red.
Red Kangaroos can often look greyish in the wild, despite the red they tend to be. Their faces are completely different too, so it is likely other Kangaroos would know the difference. Yet mating between them has happened a number of times in the wild, producing infertile offspring each time. The last known of this wild hybrid was seen in the late 19th Century and happened to be small and white in coloring.
