What type of creature is a wallaby?

A wallaby is a member of the kangaroo family. It is one of any of about thirty species of macropod (Family Macropodidae). It is smaller than a kangaroo or wallaroo.

Why do baby wallabies grind their teeth?

Baby wallabies, or joeys, grind their teeth as a natural behavior to help with the development of their teeth and jaws. This grinding can also aid in the transition from a milk diet to solid foods as they grow. Additionally, it may serve to relieve any discomfort associated with teething. This behavior is common in many young mammals as they adapt to their changing dietary needs.


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.


Do wallabies fur color change depending on the season?

I am not sure if there is any scientific proof available, but I was advised by a shooter today (one would think they have experience in knowing), that the Bennett's Wallabies' fur begins to lighten as they starve :( We have had a drought here in Australia, and where I am in Tasmania there are a lot of wallabies starving to death :( So just maybe it could be said that the wallabies' fur colour changes in a very dry season of no food...


Do Rottnest quokkas' hopping and climbing skills help them escape predators?

Why are wallabies pests in New Zealand?

Any introduced species that exists in the wild is considered a pest in New Zealand and wallabies are one such species who destroy native flora.There are reasonably large numbers of wallabies in the wild in New Zealand particularly in the Canterbury region of the South Island. Wallabies from New Zealand have actually been used to re-introduce wallabies to Australia where numbers were dwindling. However we do have a large number of Possums (approx 70 million) which are not native to this country. They eat the Flora and birds so are rated probably number one pest in this Country.


When you separate animals into groups what type would they be in such as marsupials?

Marsupials are animals like koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, Tasmanian devils, possums or any other type of animal that has a pouch where the young (joeys) continue their development after they are born. Some marsupials, such as numbats, do not have pouches.
