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.
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.
Which country do the Wallabies play for?
Australian

What is a physical adaptation for wallabies?
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.
Do wallabies fight back their predators?

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.
