Depending on the species, wallabies live for an average of 12-18 years. External factors such as predators and cars certainly reduce a wallaby's lifespan.
They usually hide or run as do most animals but sometimes they'll fight back.
Wallabies do not talk.
Rock wallabies are not extinct. There are at least 16 species of rock-wallaby, and not all of them are classed as even endangered. Some species are extinct, some are endangered, but some are not even threatened. Some of the rock wallabies which are endangered include the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby and Proserpine rock-wallaby. the reason why some species have become extinct is largely due to the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. These animals pose the biggest threat to rock wallabies.
Wallabies can live in the outback, but not all species do so. Rock wallabies are the most common types of wallabies found in the outback, although they are not restricted to the outback. Wallabies are also found in the mulga and mallee scrublands of the outback. The various species of swamp wallabies tend to be found in bushland closer to settled areas, and in coastal regions.
Wallabies are Australian animals, like kangaroos, platypuses and echidnas. The main reason wallabies thrive in Australia is that the country has few natural predators of wallabies. these animals are quite defenceless, so the biggest threat to wallabies comes from introduced species such as foxes and wild dogs. Wallabies have proliferated where they have been introduced to New Zealand for the same reason - lack of predators. Wallabies do not dig or burrow, or fight in defence: if there were ever wallabies on other continents, their population would have been quickly decimated by the larger carnivores which are found there.
There is no separate species known as the white Bennett's wallaby. Any white wallaby is a mutation, an albino, and ever more susceptible to predators than other wallabies, because it stands out easily. Introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats are the main danger to wallabies, while natural predators such as dingoes, eagles, hawks and pythons also prey on wallabies, including Bennett's wallaby.

It depends on the species. Dingoes are the main predators of common wallabies such as the red-necked wallaby and the swamp wallaby, but where they frequent suburban fringes, the main predators are domestic dogs that have been left to roam. When it comes to rock wallabies, dingoes and foxes are the main predators. Feral cats also are responsible for reducing their populations, while natural predators include wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey.
Quokkas are not acually wallabies, and as a result, do not have any climbing skills like rock wallabies do. Quokkas do hop, but there are no natural predators on Rottnest Island which they need to escape.
Yes. Wedge-tailed eagles are among the main predators of rock wallabies. They will swoop down and grab these small wallabies while they sun themselves on exposed rock surfaces.
Rock wallabies like to live in steep and very rocky places so they can get away from predators easily.

Yes. The dingo and foxes are the main predators of the wallaby. Feral cats can pose a threat to younger animals as well. Wedge-tailed eagles and other birds of prey are also major predators of various rock-wallaby species, as these types of wallabies are more likely to be out on exposed rock faces.

A wallaby's hind legs have large, strong tendons that help it scale slopes and escape faster and easier from predators. These tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs", so wallabies hide in bushland where they can quickly and easily escape from potential predators, dodging back and forth between trees and up and down slopes. Wallabies' hind legs move independently of each other, and they have long, strong tails for balancing. Wallabies have the ability to hear very well: they can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does.
They usually hide or run as do most animals but sometimes they'll fight back.
