There are at least 16 species of rock-wallaby, and not all of them are classed as endangered. Some species are extinct, some are endangered, but some are not even threatened. Some of the rock wallabies which are endangered include the Brush tailed rock wallaby, Yellow footed rock wallaby and Proserpine rock-wallaby.
The reason why some species have become extinct is largely due to the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. These animals pose the biggest threat to rock wallabies.
