Kangaroos and wallabies are both marsupials in the family macropodidae, meaning "long footed".
Kangaroos, meerkats, wallabies Old answer: Humans and crows.
The same as kangaroos. They are both marsupials with a pouch to nurture their new borns.
Red Kangaroos and Grey Kangaroos jump higher than wallabies. Wallabies are smaller members of the kangaroo family so they cannot jump as high. They are better built for leaping up and down hillsides and rocky slopes.
Regardless of local laws in the US, it is actually illegal to own a wallaby anywhere. Many people do not realise this.The Australian government has only permitted the export of kangaroos and wallabies overseas for non-commercial purposes. This means that smaller, private zoos have been permitted to have them. Unfortunately, this has resulted in numerous kangaroos and wallabies escaping from their enclosures (due to mismanagement and lack of understanding of the animals' needs), causing the development of feral populations overseas.Despite permitting the export of these animals, this still does not mean that kangaroos or wallabies may be kept as pets. Anyone who sells kangaroos or wallabies overseas is, in effect, flouting Australian law by exploiting them for commercial purposes.
There is no point in having a licence because it is illegal to have a pet wallaby anywhere in the world. Many people do not realise this.

Bettongs and wallabies are both members of the kangaroo family, or macropods. They are related to other kangaroos, such as Red Kangaroos, Grey Kangaroos, Pademelons, Tree Kangaroos, Quokkas and Euros (Wallaroos), to name a few.
Yes. Kangaroos, tree kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, potoroos and pademelons are all part of the kangaroo family.
Kangaroos, wallaroos and wallabies are closely related.Wallabies, in fact, are kangaroos. They form one of the major sub-groups of kangaroos in Australia.Other close relatives are potoroos, rat-kangaroos, bettongs and quokkas.Wallabies are a member of Family Macropodidae.
Kangaroos and wallabies are both marsupials in the family macropodidae, meaning "long footed".
Kangaroos are related to all other mammals of the Macropod family (or kangaroo family), Macropodidae, of which there are over 60 species. The kangaroo family encompasses other marsupials such as the wallaby, potoroo, bettong, pademelon, rat-kangaroo, tree kangaroo and wallaroo.
No. Contrary to popular belief, kangaroos and wallabies cannot hybridise, despite both being macropods. Some people erroneously believe that wallaroos are a hybrid of kangaroos and wallabies, but they are not.
No, wallabies are marsupials like kangaroos and possums. Pachyderms are elephants.
Being smaller, wallabies are not faster than kangaroos. However, they are more maneuverable than kangaroos, able to negotiate rocky hillsides with more agility.
Nope
They certainly are. There are over 60 species of kangaroos in Australia And on the island of New Guinea. Some may not be easily recognised as related to the kangaroo, but the list includes all macropods such as wallabies, tree-kangaroos, potoroos, wallaroos, rat-kangaroos (not kangaroo-rats), pademelons and the quokka.
Wallabies are animals. It's not a name for a baby kangaroo. Both are in the same family. Wallabies are almost identical to kangaroos, but they are smaller.
No, wallabies do not migrate. Sometimes they will move on to new food sources, but they are more likely than their nomadic cousins, the kangaroos, to stay in one place, particularly the rock wallabies.
