Wallabies usually have just one joey at a time, but on rare occasions have been known to give birth to twins.
When a wallaby mates, that mating will only produce one baby. However, sometimes, a female wallaby will mate just after she has given birth, yet the young embryo will stop developing until conditions are right for it to continue its development and to be born.
Like kangaroos, wallabies have embryonic diapause, meaning they can be in a perpetual state of pregnancy. A young joey may be born while an older joey is still in the pouch or, if environmental conditions are not the best for raising another young one, the female can suspend development and birth of the embryo for some time.
