All wallabies are hernivorius, feeding primariky on grasses and shoots. They will eat native plants species found in their particular area. For example, the yellow-footed rock wallaby eats young grasses, the shoots and leaves of tree species such as acacia and callitris (a coniferous cypress) and various shrubs and herbs such as cyanoglossum, which are found in their habitat.
