(1) They were Red and Grey Kangaroos, Wallaroo, Tammar Wallaby, Brush-tailed possum, Potoroo, and Brown Marsupial Mouse.
(2) Wallaroos (Macropus robustus robustus), which have the G6PD-F electrophoretic phenotype, crossed with euros (M.r.erubescens), of G6PD-S phenotype, produced F1 animals which had only the maternal G6PD type regardless of the direction of the cross.
(3) The erythrocytes of the western grey kangaroo, the eastern wallaroo and the red-necked wallaby showed pronounced resistance to hypotonic lysis compared with those of the Tammar wallaby and the human.
