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.

Do white Bennett's wallabies have predators?
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.

Why do most wallabies live in Australia?
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.
What is the predator of wallabies?
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.
Do eagles eat rock wallabies?
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.
Do Rottnest quokkas' hopping and climbing skills help them escape predators?
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.
Which rock-wallabies live in which kind of rock habitats?
Rock wallabies like to live in steep and very rocky places so they can get away from predators easily.
What are the predators of brush tailed rock wallabies?
The dingo and foxes are the main predators of rock wallabies. 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.
What are the wallabies enemies?
Enemies of the wallaby include birds of prey such as the wedgetail eagle, which can often be observed swooping down on colonies of various kinds of rock wallabies when they are exposed on the bare rock surfaces. Other predators of young wallabies include carpet pythons, whilst injured wallabies fall prey to dingoes and foxes. Wild dogs are always a major threat.
How do wallabies protect themselves?
Wallabies are agile marsupials which are capable of hopping quickly through bushland, and up and down slopes, keeping up a steady pace for considerable time. Their strong hind limbs enable them to continue bounding for long periods of time, outrunning the endurance of their predators. Their sure-footedness on rocky slopes also helps them evade predators. The colour of wallabies also gives them defence by way of camouflage.
